This oil tanker named Yuri is carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil from Khark Island; earlier this week, the vessel reappeared on ship tracking platforms Kpler and Vortexa, positioned off Sirri Island after having ceased transmitting its location signals for several days. On Thursday night, the tanker began heading towards Hormuz Island and had just passed Larak Island. The movements of this very large crude carrier indicate that Tehran still intends to test Washington’s resolve in maintaining the blockade of the strait. Earlier this week, US forces intercepted two Iranian oil tankers, and United States Central Command also stated on social media that 33 ships have been forced to reroute since the blockade began. Yuri was sanctioned by the United States in 2024 for involvement in Iranian oil exports. In maritime database Equasis, the manager or owner of the vessel is not listed with any contact details.
