Russian billionaire Mordashov's superyacht Nord transited the Strait of Hormuz with no objection from Iran or the US
The superyacht Nord, owned by Russian billionaire Alexei Mordashov and valued at over $500 million, passed through the blockaded Strait of Hormuz on Saturday after undergoing maintenance in Dubai. A source close to Mordashov stated that neither Iran nor the US raised objections, as the vessel sailed under a Russian flag on an approved route without calling at Iranian ports. The strait has been severely restricted since a conflict began on February 28, with only a fraction of normal vessel traffic allowed through.
