Iran Uses Ship-to-Ship Transfers to Bypass Hormuz Blockade
Al Jazeera AR·IR · US · OM·1 day ago
The US has seized approximately 6 million barrels of Iranian crude (worth ~$600M) from tankers, with the cargo's disposition unresolved. This escalates US-Iran economic pressure amid ongoing nuclear tensions, though Tehran's response remains unclear. The seizure tightens Iranian oil export channels, potentially affecting global supply expectations.
