At least 34 Iran-linked ships bypass US blockade - FT
At least 34 tankers linked to Iran have bypassed the US blockade since it began, the Financial Times reported, citing cargo tracking group Vortexa.
The report said 19 of the vessels exited the Persian Gulf through the blockade, while 15 entered from the Arabian Sea heading toward Iran.
Six of the outbound tankers were carrying Iranian crude, with total cargoes of about 10.7 million barrels, it said.
Based on an assumed $10 discount to Brent crude, the shipments were estimated to represent roughly $910 million in revenue.
Iranian oil is typically sold at a discount because it is under sanctions.
