Title: Stranded Oil Tanker Heads to Taiwan

 

REPORTER:  

Taiwan is set to receive a crude oil shipment that was delayed by blockades in the wake of the US-Iran conflict.

 

The tanker, chartered by state-run CPC Corporation, was carrying two million barrels when it became stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint. After more than three months, it is finally able to leave Iranian waters and is expected to arrive in Taiwan in mid-July. Despite the recent ceasefire, the deal between the US, Iran and Israel remains fragile amid lingering tensions.
