FACT FOCUS: Iran claims a foreign ship got stuck in Strait of Hormuz. But it is tied to Tehran
Iranian state media claimed a foreign ship ignored designated routes in the Strait of Hormuz, but the vessel, identified as the Arista, is linked to Iran and previously operated under a sanctions-targeted network. The ship, formerly known as the Panama-flagged Gauja, has been stuck in Iranian territorial waters since March, according to tracking data.
