KARACHI: A Pakistani oil tanker bound for Karachi appeared to have successfully traversed the Strait of Hormuz and is sailing through the Gulf of Oman, ship‑tracking website MarineTraffic said on Monday, despite Iran’s closure of the strategic waterway amid the US‑Israeli war. The passage comes as shipping through the key waterway has been disrupted by the escalating US–Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s counterattacks on US interests as well as commercial and oil infrastructure in the Gulf, disrupting global energy supplies and trade flows.

A VLCC, an LPG ship and a couple of bulk carriers, all linked to Iran, were among the vessels seen exiting the Gulf early Sunday.
