As it was assumed, the American naval blockade of Iran is not so effective.
Despite the official statement by the US that 6 ships could not overcome the blockade, according to the results of the “BBC” fact check, 4 ships sailing under the flags of different countries and connected to Iranian ports, which are also under US sanctions, passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Al-Jazeera, one ship belonging to China and under US sanctions also passed through the strait.
Parallel to all this, various announcements about the possibility of a new round of Iran-US negotiations with the mediation of Pakistan have been activated, but there is no clear agreement at the moment.
