As a blockade is an act of war. Smuggling would be someone trying to bring Iranian oil into Israel without passing through customs or whatever their process for foreign trade is. The sanctions are not International law but US policy that other nations are not obligated to respect.

Reuters has become horrible when it comes to International News- if it was another unfavorable nation, the title of the article would allude to the nation breaking international law or committing an act of war.
