Two Qatar liquefied natural gas tankers that had been heading towards the Strait of Hormuz were halted by Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Monday morning without explanation, a source told Reuters, as ship-tracking data showed the vessels changing course by the afternoon. Iran had permitted the vessels to transit the strait under an agreement reached with the United States last week via Pakistani mediation, said a source who had been briefed on the agreement and spoke on condition of anonymity.
