The U.S. and Iran allowed the yacht owned by the owner of Severstal to pass through the blocked Strait of Hormuz
According to data from the Vesselfinder portal, as well as another similar service, Marinetraffic, the 142-meter superyacht Nord, owned by Alexei Mordashov of the Russian company Severstal, left Dubai on April 24 and is heading to Oman. The vessel crossed the Strait of Hormuz without incident.
This was reported by NBC News.
In addition, on the night of April 25, according to Marinetraffic data, two vessels subject to U.S. sanctions passed through the strait.
These were the tankers Ocean Jet and Lumina Ocean. Additionally, between 5:00 p.m. on Friday and 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, five more cargo ships, including one Iranian vessel, and a passenger ferry from Oman passed through the strait.
As a reminder, U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz will remain blocked to Iranian exports until a comprehensive peace agreement is reached.
Ukraine is ready to deploy at least two mine-sweeping ships to the international operation to clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines.
The Times reported that Ukraine could send all four of its minesweepers, which are based in Britain, to the Strait of Hormuz.
