Iran Didn’t Get Any Crude Oil Past US Blockade in May, UANI Says

Iran struggled to get energy exports past the US Navy’s blockade last month, with around 80 million barrels of oil and petrochemicals stranded in waters behind the line, according to a US non-profit advisory group.

No Iranian crude exports passed through Washington’s blockade of the country in May, United Against Nuclear Iran said in a report viewed by Bloomberg News. However, the Islamic Republic did manage to ship four cargoes of naphtha totaling 2 million barrels and smaller volumes of liquefied petroleum gas, it said. That compares with more than 59 million barrels of oil and fuel exports in February, before the war began.
