Data compiled by Woofun AI shows that four Iranian-linked vessels, including two VLCCs with 2 million barrel capacities each, have reactivated their AIS transponders and navigated from the Strait of Hormuz into the Gulf of Oman.

Concurrently, at least three tankers previously berthed at Chabahar port have departed, marking a departure from historical evasion tactics such as signal spoofing. This collective proactive navigation is interpreted as a precursor to the lifting of the US maritime blockade.

Per Woofun AI, sources indicate the finalized US-Iran memorandum grants immediate pre-sanctions relief on oil exports, bypassing transitional periods. Approximately 68 million barrels of crude currently stranded at sea are poised for release, which could alleviate global supply constraints. The Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister confirmed that the phased lifting of the blockade, initiated in April, will culminate in the simultaneous removal of the Strait of Hormuz closure and US shipping bans following the formal agreement signing this Friday.
