Trump's blockade fails on day 1 as Iran-linked tanker passes through Hormuz: Report

US President Donald Trump's blockade of Strait of Hormuz failed on its day one after an Iran-linked tanker passed through Strait of Hormuz, reported CNN. The partially-laden vessel, registered in Comoros as Elpis, was sanctioned by US in 2025 for involvement in transportation of Iranian petroleum as part of Iran's shadow fleet. Earlier, a China-linked tanker also passed through Hormuz.
