The United States says it is not involved in redirecting a Pakistan-bound liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker. In a statement, the US government says it played no role in the routing change affecting the first Qatari LNG shipment that has transited the Strait of Hormuz in more than three weeks. The claim addresses reporting or concerns that the vessel’s path may have been altered with US involvement. According to the US, there is no basis to suggest it directed or influenced the tanker’s movement or decision-making related to passage through the Strait of Hormuz. The shipment is linked to Qatari LNG exports and a delivery destination in Pakistan, and it is noted as the first such shipment to transit the strait after an extended interval. While the outlets repeat the same core assertion from the US, they do not provide additional details about who initiated any redirection, the reasons for the change, or further follow-on cargo schedules. The US denial is presented as a clarification regarding responsibility for the ship’s routing.
