Shadow fleet tankers disrupted, but not completely deterred by US blockade on Iran
- Eight tankers have seen their voyages disrupted, some temporarily
- No signs that Iran’s shadow fleet in its entirety has ground to a halt
- US defence official stresses vessels can be intercepted at any time or place of their choosing
A number of Iran-linked shadow fleet tankers are diverting or pausing voyages, but at least 10 traceable via their Automatic Identification System are seen ballasting towards the Middle East
