Ship tracking data shows that five of these tankers, previously anchored north of Dubai, began entering the waterway on Friday afternoon local time, shortly after the foreign minister's announcement. Another three tankers, which had been waiting about 70 miles to the west, have also started moving towards the strait. If these vessels continue their journey, their movements could become one of the clearest signals since the outbreak of the war on February 28 that the Strait of Hormuz may finally be opening to non-Iranian related shipping. Despite Iranian media reports suggesting the country still attempts to impose restrictions, these tankers continue to move.
