Ubwato bwa Panama bwari bwashimuswe n'abagabo bitwaje intwaro mu kigobe cya Oman butegekwa kwerekaza muri Iran, nk'uko byemezwa n'ikigo Lloyds List Maritime Intelligence.
Ubu bwato bwikorera asphalt/bitumen (ibikoresho byubakishwa umuhanda wa kaburimbo) buri kwerekeza mu muhora wa Hormuz nk'uko bivugwa n'icyo kigo.
Ntabwo hazwi neza uwashimuse ubu bwato ariko abasesenguzi bavuga ko ingabo za Iran ziza gukekwa.
Ingabo za Iran ariko zahakanye ibivugwa zivuga ko ari urwitwazo kugira ngo hakorwe "igikorwa kibi" kuri Tehran.
