Iran Oil Exports Decline Deepens Economic Pressure as Tankers Blocked at Kharq

Iran's oil exports are declining as tankers carrying tens of millions of barrels remain stuck at Kharq Island, with empty tankers waiting outside the Gulf. This blockade-like situation is strangling Iran's seaborne oil trade, intensifying economic pressures on Tehran. The exact cause of the blockage is not specified, but it likely reflects heightened enforcement or geopolitical tensions.
