"Quietly transporting oil!" After the outbreak of the war, Iran still transports 12 million barrels of crude oil outside the Strait of Hormuz.

Notice that, according to the organization TankerTrackers.com, which specializes in monitoring ship movements through satellite imagery, Iran continues to transport large quantities of crude oil through the strategic shipping bottleneck of the Strait of Hormuz. Samir Madani, co-founder of the organization, stated that since the outbreak of the conflict on February 28, the Iranian government has shipped at least 11 to 12 million barrels of crude oil through this waterway. He pointed out that the actual number may be higher, but there is a delay in obtaining satellite data due to the conflict. On Monday, the price of crude oil soared to nearly $120 per barrel. This is because shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has largely stalled since the conflict began, meaning that most oil-producing countries in the Persian Gulf are unable to deliver their supplies to the global market, putting pressure on their production. According to satellite images released by the European Union, last Saturday, two very large crude carriers, each capable of carrying about 2 million barrels of crude oil, were seen docked at loading terminals on either side of Kharg Island. Since then, there have been no satellite images of Kharg Island, so it is unclear if the terminals are still operational. The images also show five very large oil tankers and two Suezmax tankers, each capable of carrying about 1 million barrels of crude oil, anchored in the southern and eastern parts of the island. Additionally, Iran is loading crude oil from its Jask terminal on the east coast of the Strait of Hormuz. Typically, tankers associated with Iran do not send location signals for at least 10 days after leaving the Persian Gulf until they reach the Strait of Malacca. Prior to this, most of their journey is not tracked. Because TankerTrackers.com monitors satellite imagery, it is able to capture the movements of ships that would otherwise evade detection after shutting off their transponders. Previously, a tanker operated by Greece had passed through the Strait of Hormuz out of the Persian Gulf with its signal turned off and has since reappeared near the coast of India.
