Two unloaded oil tankers temporarily turned around in the Strait of Hormuz

```htmlGolden Ten Data reported on April 12 that, according to vessel tracking data on the 12th, two empty oil tankers trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz made temporary U-turns as negotiations between the United States and Iran in Pakistan neared conclusion, though the specific reason remains unknown. Vessel tracking shows that three large oil tankers with no direct links to Iran began approaching the narrow waterway in the Gulf of Oman late on the night of the 11th. After reaching areas near Iran’s Larak Island in the early hours of the 12th, two tankers turned back. According to Bloomberg, the first was managed by Greek East Mediterranean Maritime Company, with the original destination being Iraq; the second belonged to Pakistan National Shipping Corporation, heading to the United Arab Emirates. The third tanker, “Mombasa B,” has its parent company in South Korea. This vessel followed Iran’s designated route into the Persian Gulf, passing through Larak Island and Qeshm Island, continuing onward. Its destination remains unclear.```
