Two large oil tankers were spotted at Iran's Kharg Island terminal, marking the resumption of Iranian oil exports after a pause of more than a month, according to reports. The development follows a series of reports over recent weeks indicating that Iran's naval blockade has been eroding.
Iran has resumed oil exports via its primary terminal on Kharg Island, two large tankers spotted at the facility after a pause of more than a month, according to reports.
The development comes amid a series of reports over recent weeks indicating that the U.S.-imposed naval blockade on Iranian crude shipments is eroding. As The Zioneer has reported, multiple tankers have departed Iranian ports in recent days — including the Chabahar facility — carrying millions of barrels of crude oil. Maritime tracking firms have identified several vessels crossing areas previously under blockade.
Earlier this week, reports indicated that Iran had reached an agreement with the United States allowing it to resume oil exports, though the terms have not been officially confirmed. The resumption of exports via Kharg Island — Iran's largest oil terminal — represents a significant operational milestone.
