Iran supertanker pushes through strait for China

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has slowed to a crawl with most commercial traffic paralyzed, while a handful of Iranian-linked vessels continue to navigate the waterway despite escalating security risks.

An Iranian supertanker was spotted in the waters north of Hormuz on Sunday, with its destination listed as China, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. A few more Iran-linked ships crossed through the chokepoint in the last 24 hours.
