Iran Is Allowing Its Own Oil And Some Ships To Pass Through Blocked Hormuz Strait.Iran has continued to export its crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz at nearly pre-war levels while also allowing a small number of commercial vessels linked to “friendly” nations to pass through the critical shipping lane, which remains shut to most other traffic, maritime analyst reports and tracking data showed.
Citing data from intelligence firm Kpler, Bloomberg reported that Iranian crude made up nearly three-quarters of the 27.2 million barrels of oil that have moved through the Persian Gulf since March 1
This means Iran has been transiting around 1.2 million barrels of crude per day through the Strait of Hormuz, only slightly down from 1.5 million barrels before the start of the ongoing conflict with the U.S. and Israel.
In comparison, other countries have managed to ship only 3% of their prewar levels—an average of 400,000 barrels per day, compared to 14 million—in the past three weeks.
At least 89 vessels crossed through the blockaded strait between March 1 and 15, including 16 oil tankers, the Associated Press reported, citing data from Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
This is a significant decline from before the start of the conflict, when 100 to 135 ships passed through the strait every day.
