A third Iran-linked tanker has entered the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz today, shipping data shows, according to Al Jazeera.

The Panama-flagged Peace Gulf is heading to Hamriyah port in the UAE, LSEG data showed.

Prior to this, two US-sanctioned tankers passed through the narrow waterway.

As the three vessels transiting the strait were not heading to Iranian ports, they are not affected by the US blockade.
