A number of outlets, including The Express Tribune, Business Recorder, and several Aaj News excerpts, specifically highlighted that 45 tankers had been blacklisted and named as violators, adding a more concrete and escalation-focused angle. Other outlets, such as The Nation and 24 News HD, focused more broadly on the general warning issued by Iran without specifying the number of affected vessels.
