WANA (May 18) – Satellite imagery indicates that an Iranian LPG tanker under U.S. sanctions has successfully entered Iranian waters and docked at Kharg Island after evading international monitoring routes.

 

Rhe vessel was spotted near the Indian coastline about two weeks ago. It has now reportedly reached its final destination in Iran without being effectively detected or intercepted.

 

Images released by the ESA Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite system suggest that the tanker managed to bypass U.S.-led surveillance and restrictions, once again highlighting Washington’s inability to fully control Iran’s energy export routes.

 

Meanwhile, TankerTrackers, a company specializing in monitoring global oil shipments, announced that three Iranian tankers recently managed to breach what it described as the “U.S. blockade” by using three different tactics.

 

The company also stated that the tanker in question loaded its LPG cargo just two days ago and is now operating within Iranian waters — a development observers say demonstrates Iran’s continued ability to sustain energy exports despite ongoing sanctions pressure.
