Still no word from any US official on the shot down or crashed USAF MQ-4C drone over the Persian Gulf.

ICE has detained Iranian PHD candidate without providing any explanation as to why.
In the absence of any justification by US regime, many speculate that his activism and opposition against the war imposed on Iran was the reason behind his kidnapping. #FreeSpeech

It looks like, despite the one vessel ‘RICH STARRY’ doing a U-turn today, at least 9 other Iranian & Chinese linked vessels continued their path amid a US naval blockade.

HORMUZ TRAFFIC CONTINUES DESPITE US BLOCKADE CLAIMS At least nine commercial vessels have passed through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the US-declared maritime blockade, according to tracking data, including some sanctioned tankers linked to Iran and China. While CENTCOM says no ships breached the blockade’s restricted zone in the first 24 hours, overall traffic remains sharply reduced—down to under 10% of normal levels compared with over 100 vessels daily before the conflict.

JUST IN: She turned around. Then she came back. At 10:00 a.m. Eastern on April 13, CENTCOM’s blockade of Iranian ports went live. Within twenty minutes, the Rich Starry, a laden oil and chemical tanker heading through the Strait of Hormuz, executed a U-turn confirmed by MarineTraffic AIS. The blockade had its first deterrence success. The ship that flinched became the headline. Then she recalculated. And she came back through. Her AIS is live right now. I am looking at it. RICH STARRY. Oil/Chemical Tanker. Malawi flag. Departed Sharjah Anchorage, UAE, at 10:10 UTC+4 on April 13. Destination field reads four words that every CENTCOM watch officer, every shipping analyst, and every intelligence service on earth can see in the clear: CHINA OWNER&CREW. Speed 14.8 knots. Course 201 degrees. Draught 11.3 meters, laden. Underway using engine. Position: Gulf of Oman, south of Bandar-e Jask, past the strait, past the blockade, heading for China. Estimated arrival May 13. This vessel is OFAC-sanctioned. Designated in 2023 as Full Star for transporting Iranian petroleum. Re-designated February 25, 2026 under the shadow-fleet package. Linked to Shanghai Xuanrun. Flying a Malawi flag of convenience. And she just transited the Strait of Hormuz under live American naval enforcement while broadcasting her Chinese ownership on an open channel. The blockade did not stop her. And the reason exposes the precise architecture of what this enforcement can and cannot reach. CENTCOM’s scope states the blockade targets vessels entering or exiting Iranian ports. It “will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting to and from non-Iranian ports.” The Rich Starry departed Sharjah, UAE. Under the published rules, her transit was technically exempt. She sailed through the gap between what the President said and what the military published. The IRGC toll system does not care about CENTCOM’s scoping. The five-tier vetting applies to vessels transiting the strait regardless of origin. The $1 per barrel quote is issued. The Bitcoin or yuan clears in seconds. The VHF passcode is transmitted. Whether the Rich Starry paid cannot be confirmed on-chain for this specific vessel. But the toll infrastructure was active, the escort system was operational, and the vessel that passed through it is now heading to China at near-maximum speed with her ownership declared to the entire maritime world. The blockade is working on the compliant fleet. Traffic has dropped to 7 to 11 vessels per day from a pre-crisis norm of 140. That is a 93 percent reduction. Ships with insurance, flag-state registration, and Western port access are turning around. The deterrence is real. But the shadow fleet does not carry insurance, does not need Western port access, does not recognize flag-state accountability. It is already sanctioned, already uninsured, already outside the system the blockade enforces. For these vessels the marginal cost of defiance is zero because every penalty has already been applied. The Rich Starry flinched on the first attempt. She recalculated on the second. And she told the world exactly who sent her by writing it in her AIS destination field for every tracker on earth to read. CHINA OWNER&CREW. Not hidden. Not encrypted. Not denied. Declared. The blockade sorted the strait. The compliant ships are heading to American ports. The shadow fleet is heading to Chinese ports. And the IRGC is collecting tolls from both directions while the 7 percent that defies the blockade carries the 80 percent of Iranian oil that funds the regime. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Some (Iranian-linked) vessels seem to be forced to do a U-turn in the Gulf of Oman, likely after warnings by US navy.

The Iranian sanctioned Oil Product tanker has now Turned around!!! Rich Starry is now holding in the Sea of Oman. Likely after Threats from US navy vessels, which has imposed a blockade on Iran or Iran linked Ships! This would mean no oil or Product has left the gulf in 2 days.

NEW: Hezbollah issued an announcement saying it targeted an Israeli warplane with a SAM, in the skies of the Western Bekaa at 14:00 yesterday.
It does not state whether it crashed it escaped.

Iranian Meraj Airlines flew to Sri Lanka to pick up rescued Iranian sailors from the attack on Iran’s unarmed Dena ship.
Only ~32 sailors survived the terrorist attack on the Dena ship that was returning from an international naval exercise in India.

Iranian diplomatic source for IRNA says message exchanges between Tehran and Islamabad continues for Iran-US talks
The source says Pakistan's determination to continue mediation efforts persists.
There is still no information about an agreement to hold negotiations.

Reuters, quoting informed sources, announced that the negotiating teams of Iran and the US will return to Islamabad for talks later this week. No confirmation from either side.

JUST IN: A Bulk Carrier, southeast of Oman, was struck by 2 projectiles causing a fire onboard.
It’s unclear if this was Iran or the US.
