Report: Iran’s Shadow Fleet Tankers Run Out of Oil Amid U.S. Blockade– legalinsurrection.com

Eight weeks after the Trump administration launched Operation Economic Outcast, Iran’s shadow fleet has run out of oil

After the U.S. imposed a blockade on Iranian ports in mid-July, dozens of China-bound Iranian oil tankers were stranded in Asian ports. Latest news reports suggest that they have now been reduced to empty vessels. The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that “dozens of oil tankers holding millions of barrels of crude” floating in Asian waters have “dried up.”

More oil is coming through the Hormuz Strait than it did prior to the conflict.

The revelation comes a day after the WSJ confirmed that energy shipments from the region crossed the pre-war mark. “Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran’s fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz,” the business daily reported Tuesday.
