According to TankerTrackers, Iran has shipped roughly 60 million barrels of crude oil since mid‑June 2026, following a temporary lift of the maritime blockade. In the last hours, Tehran has been loading and dispatching more than 10 million barrels of crude and refined oil around the clock, as officials warn that the blockade could resume soon. If the blockade is re‑imposed under current tensions, Iran would have about 50 million barrels of crude and petroleum products in storage and on tankers, effectively trapped.
The situation underscores the volatility of oil exports from Iran amid ongoing international sanctions and maritime restrictions.
