Iran loads 4.6 million barrels despite US blockade, tracker says
Maritime analytics firm TankerTrackers said Iran has loaded the equivalent of 4.6 million barrels of crude oil at export terminals, suggesting continued activity despite a US naval blockade.
The data is based on satellite imagery tracking tanker movements and port operations.
The firm added that the loading process provides Iran with several additional days of storage capacity, easing immediate pressure on its export system.
The findings come amid ongoing efforts by the United States to restrict Iranian oil shipments and tighten maritime controls in the region.
