Iran war sees Tehran export more oil through Strait of Hormuz - WSJ

Iran is exporting more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war while shipments from other Gulf producers decline, the Wall Street Journal reported citing tanker-tracking firm Kpler.

Tankers loaded an average of about 2.1 million barrels a day of Iranian crude over the past six days, compared with around 2 million barrels a day in February, the data showed.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned ships against crossing the strait since the conflict began, prompting many operators to avoid the route.

“Almost all ships crossing the Strait are linked to Iran or China,” said Christopher Long of the Neptune P2P Group.
