Research firm Kpler estimates Iran has only 12‑22 days of oil storage capacity remaining before production must be curtailed. A U.S. naval blockade has reduced Iranian oil exports by roughly 70%, virtually halting shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts warn that, if the blockade continues, Iran could see an additional loss of about 1.5 million barrels per day in output by mid‑May, accelerating the shutdown of its oil sector. The combined storage shortage and export restrictions heighten the risk of widespread fuel shortages within Iran and increase pressure on regional oil markets.
