Iran increased its oil exports in September 2025 by 37 percent, according to Iran-focused advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which UANI assessed was likely in response to the reimposition of UN sanctions on Iran on September 27. Iran’s oil exports in September 2025 totaled 63.2 billion barrels in total (worth $4.26 billion USD), according to UANI. UANI also reported that Iran increased its exports from an average of 1.45 million barrels per day (bpd) to 2.1 million bpd in September, which is Iran’s highest daily average export in 2025.
