Despite the ongoing U.S. naval blockade, Iran has reportedly moved about 9 million barrels of crude oil from floating storage in the Gulf of Oman since the blockade was imposed on April 13. This action, based on data from Tankertrackers, demonstrates Iran's continued efforts to export oil despite the U.S. enforcement. The shipments represent a significant volume of crude being moved from storage, likely in an attempt to circumvent the blockade's restrictions on direct exports.
