Petroleros vinculados a Irán cruzan el estrecho de Ormuz en el primer día del bloqueo estadounidense

En medio del conflicto con Irán, donde el país ha restringido el acceso al estrecho de Ormuz a barcos sin vínculos con EE. UU. o Israel, al menos ocho buques —incluidos tres petroleros vinculados a Irán— cruzaron el martes, el primer día del bloqueo naval estadounidense a puertos iraníes anunciado por el presidente Donald Trump. Los datos de navegación no muestran interrupciones, a pesar de que Estados Unidos afirma que no ha habido incumplimientos.

El bloqueo estadounidense se produjo tras el fracaso de las conversaciones de paz en Pakistán. Anteriormente, a principios de abril, buques «amigos» de Japón, Francia y Omán transitaron bajo la política iraní, tal y como se ha cubierto en esta serie.

Los datos de MarineTraffic indican que pasaron buques como el petrolero «Peace Gulf», con bandera de Panamá (que suele transportar nafta iraní con destino a los EAU), el «Murlikishan», previamente sancionado, y el «Rich Starry» (con 250.000 barriles de metanol). Otros cinco buques, entre ellos cargueros químicos y el «Ocean Energy», también transitaron.

El Mando Central de EE. UU. informó que seis buques recibieron la orden de regresar a puertos iraníes, con lo cual cumplieron, asegurando que no hubo infracciones en las primeras 24 horas. La ayuda humanitaria está exenta.

El Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de China calificó el bloqueo de «peligroso e irresponsable». El profesor Fabrizio Cotica, de la Universidad de Génova, señaló que los buques de guerra estadounidenses en el golfo de Omán fuerzan cambios de rumbo en lugar de realizar ataques.

Following Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's declaration that the Strait of Hormuz is 'completely open,' Indian-flagged vessels carrying crude oil vital to India's energy needs have begun exiting the Persian Gulf.

Iran warned on Sunday it would target energy and water systems of Gulf neighbors if US President Donald Trump strikes its power plants, following his 48-hour ultimatum to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
