Iran records surge in oil exports amid war
Iran has reportedly increased its oil exports despite the ongoing war and tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.
The report said the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to boost crude shipments even as regional tensions escalated and maritime security risks intensified.
According to the newspaper, Iran’s oil exports have reached approximately 2.1 million barrels per day, a level higher than the period before the outbreak of the war. A significant portion of these exports is reportedly being shipped to China.
Tankers continue to pass through the Strait of Hormuz
While several major international shipping companies have reduced or suspended operations in the region due to security concerns, tankers linked to Iran have reportedly continued to transit through the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
The waterway is considered one of the most critical routes for global oil transportation, carrying a large share of the world’s crude shipments.
Millions of barrels reportedly shipped since the war began
Data obtained from ship-tracking companies indicates that at least 11.7 million barrels of Iranian crude oil have passed through the Strait of Hormuz toward China since the conflict began on February 28 (March 10).
Despite heightened tensions in the region and growing risks for commercial shipping, the continued flow of Iranian oil shipments suggests that Tehran has maintained significant export capacity during the wartime period. (ILKHA)
