More Iranian crude appears to evade US blockade - TankerTrackers
Iran has loaded at least 4.6 million barrels of crude oil at export terminals despite the ongoing US naval blockade, with an additional four million barrels appearing to have crossed the blockade line, according to satellite analysis by TankerTrackers.com.
The figures suggest Tehran retains some ability to continue oil exports despite Washington’s efforts to choke off the country’s energy revenues through maritime pressure.
Recent satellite imagery and tanker-tracking data have shown some Iranian vessels “going dark” by switching off transponders to move crude beyond the blockade zone.
