CNN reports, citing maritime monitoring firms TankerTrackers and Windward Intelligence, that Iran exported approximately 10 million barrels of crude oil and fuel overnight — a sharp increase in the export pace. Windward data indicates total exports of about 60 million barrels over the past three weeks.
The CNN report, sourced to TankerTrackers and Windward Intelligence, provides new data on Iranian oil exports. The Zioneer's prior coverage has documented multiple reports of rising exports since the U.S. naval blockade ended in June, including TankerTrackers' estimates of 40 million barrels since June 15, 50 million barrels after sanctions relief, and Bloomberg's report of 20 million barrels shipped from Chabahar in a week. The new overnight figure of 10 million barrels, if supported by additional monitoring, would be consistent with the broader trend reported by multiple tracking firms. The report is single-source (CNN) and has not been independently corroborated in the current intake.
