Iran Exports Limited LPG and Jet Fuel Despite US Naval Blockade, Data Shows
Since July, Iran has exported limited amounts of liquefied petroleum gas and jet fuel despite a US naval blockade, according to shipping intelligence and maritime security sources. Tehran has concealed these shipments through increased ship-to-ship transfers off Oman. US advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) tracked at least eight LPG tankers and one jet fuel tanker reaching destinations including Myanmar, with several vessels under US sanctions. Myanmar's military denies targeting civilians amid ongoing conflict, while US forces have redirected most Iranian petroleum shipments.
