Bloomberg reports that satellite images reveal 8 very large crude carriers (VLCC) and several smaller tankers gathered near Iran's southeastern port of Chabahar, accumulating an export capacity of about 14 million barrels of oil—equivalent to roughly 10 days of Iran's oil exports. Unlike the northern Persian Gulf ports, Chabahar lies outside the direct range of the U.S. naval fleet, providing a strategic location for uninterrupted exports amid heightened US-Iran tensions. This activity highlights Iran's efforts to bypass sanctions and maintain oil revenues despite the US blockade.
