Iran's April oil exports exceed March total

Iran's oil exports have increased significantly in April 2026, with the volume shipped so far this month already surpassing the total for all of March. The data, reported by TankerTrackers, indicates a notable rebound in Iran's ability to move crude despite the ongoing US naval blockade and regional conflict. This development raises questions about the blockade's current effectiveness in curtailing Iran's primary revenue source. The specific destinations for the increased shipments and the methods used to circumvent restrictions remain unclear.
