Iran routes 20 million barrels through offshore network to evade US blockade

According to a recent report, Iran has transferred approximately 20 million barrels of crude oil through an offshore network designed to bypass the United States' maritime blockade of Iranian ports. The maneuver aims to sustain export revenues despite tightening U.S. sanctions and naval interdictions in the Persian Gulf. Officials say the offshore system allows tankers to load oil away from monitored ports, reducing the risk of seizure. The United States has not publicly responded to the specific claim, but the move underscores Tehran's efforts to mitigate the impact of economic warfare measures.
