A Qatari LNG vessel has passed through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time in three weeks, after one of its tankers was targeted in the waterway, Al Jazeera reports.

According to the Iranian Fars news outlet, the vessel passed through the Iranian-approved route after gaining permission from Tehran.

Ship tracking data compiled by Bloomberg shows that the vessel sailed through the Strait of Hormuz with its transponder turned on and was entering the Gulf of Oman.
