"The United States is allowing any vessels who are passing through this area to make their way to their final destination, as long as they're not coming from Iranian ports."
"There were some reports overnight indicating that 26 vessels from Iran's shadow fleet were able to make it past the U.S. blockade. There is no evidence of that."
"The shadow fleet that the senator is talking about is used to directly fund Iranian proxies across the Middle East, including Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah."
"The shadow fleet is a very serious problem. It is not getting past the U.S. blockade, according to all reports and information that we have from the region."
The U.S. is permitting vessels to navigate through the Persian Gulf as long as they do not originate from Iranian ports. Reports claiming that 26 Iranian vessels breached the U.S. blockade are deemed propaganda. A concerted effort exists to turn around or seize vessels coming from Iran. The shadow fleet mentioned is linked to funding Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah, posing a significant threat. The U.S. Navy is committed to addressing this issue in the region.
