Iran Appears to Still Load Oil Despite Blockade -- WSJ

Dow Jones04:21

By Alyssa Lukpat

Iran has loaded the equivalent of 4.6 million barrels of oil at crude-oil terminals, according to TankerTrackers.com, a ship-tracking website. The loading, if confirmed, potentially frees up a few days of oil-storage capacity. An additional four million barrels "appear to have exfiltrated US blockade line," the site said in a post on X. TankerTrackers.com uses satellite imagery to see where vessels have sailed. The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment**.**

An Iranian official vowed in a post Sunday on X to strike back on infrastructure if any Iranian oil wells are damaged during the blockade. The U.S. began its blockade on April 13 in an attempt to lock down Iran's oil trade and bring Tehran back to the negotiating table. Still, multiple ships have sailed in and out of Iranian ports.
