Iran's oil exports are even higher than before the war.
The latest data shows that the amount of oil currently exported by Iran through the Strait of Hormuz is even higher than before the war, indicating that it still firmly controls this strategic waterway, which has effectively blocked other oil-producing countries in the region. According to data from the oil tanker tracking company Kpler, while Gulf Arab oil-producing countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq have reduced production and are scrambling to find new routes to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, Iran continues its trade activities as usual. This provides Iran with a crucial "economic lifeline" amid fierce attacks from the United States and Israel. Kpler data shows that since the outbreak of war on February 28th, seven oil tankers have loaded crude oil off the coast of Iran. At least two of the most recent loading operations were completed in waters outside the Persian Gulf. In the past six days, these tankers have loaded an average of 2.1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil per day, higher than the 2 million barrels per day exported by Iran in February.
