Several Iranian vessels have crossed what Iranian media described as a US naval blockade line in the Gulf of Oman without incident.
Iran's state broadcaster, IRIB, reported that several Iranian ships passed through the area and continued their voyages without interference.
According to the report, a very large crude carrier (VLCC) was sailing from international waters toward Iranian ports after passing through the blockade zone.
IRIB added that a vessel carrying livestock feed crossed the area and was heading toward Iran, while another tanker loaded with Iranian oil continued toward its export destination after transiting the Gulf of Oman.
The Tasnim news agency also reported that three Iranian oil tankers and two cargo ships carrying what it described as "essential goods" crossed the US naval blockade line.
Iran's Press TV noted that three oil tankers and two ships carrying Iranian goods vrossed strait.
Silence over maritime breakthrough
The Fars news agency, citing sources, reported that several Iranian ships managed to cross the American naval blockade line without any problems.
A tanker loaded with Iranian oil left the Sea of Oman, crossed the blockade line and is heading to its export destination, while a ship is heading towards Iran after crossing the American naval blockade area, the agency said.
The reports came amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing disputes over maritime traffic in waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
There was no immediate comment from US authorities regarding the Iranian reports.
