First loaded Iranian oil tankers exit Gulf since US blockade: Kpler
Three Iranian oil tankers have successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz, carrying five million barrels of crude. This marks the first such departure since a US blockade was imposed. The vessels, Deep Sea, Sonia I, and Diona, are under US sanctions. Their destinations remain unknown, but they have historically transferred oil near Singapore for onward shipment to China.
