Iranian tankers carrying 5 million barrels of oil sail after US deal – CNN

Jun 18, 2026, 08:57 GMT+1

At least three Iran-flagged tankers carrying a total of about 5 million barrels of oil have sailed from Iran since Tehran reached an agreement with Washington, CNN reported on Thursday, citing analytics firm Kpler.

“We have identified at least three laden, Iran-flagged crude oil tankers that have moved past the Gulf of Oman–Arabian Sea US naval blockade boundary,” Kpler said. None of those vessels had sailed through the Strait of Hormuz, it added.

Another tanker carrying about 2 million barrels of crude appeared to be approaching the same boundary based on the latest available AIS data, Kpler said.
