The Arabic-language security analyst channel posted a video allegedly showing containers for transporting Iranian oil along the Afghanistan-Tajikistan route. The report is single-sourced and unverified.
The 'Abu Saleh Arabic Desk' channel shared a video on Monday that it says shows containers intended for transporting Iranian oil along an overland route through Afghanistan and Tajikistan. The claim suggests a new smuggling corridor for Iranian crude, potentially bypassing naval blockades. The channel, run by a prominent Israeli intelligence analyst under a pseudonym, has previously reported on Iranian oil tanker movements. The video has not been independently verified, and no further details on the containers' origin or destination were provided.
