Despite a US naval blockade, Iran has continued to export liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and jet fuel since July, according to shipping intelligence and security sources. Tehran has reportedly been disguising these shipments, blending them with increased ship-to-ship transfers conducted by other Gulf producers off the coast of Oman. Four maritime security sources tracking oil movements in the Gulf confirmed this tactic to Reuters. This indicates Iran is finding ways to circumvent sanctions and maintain exports despite international pressure. The data suggests a sophisticated strategy to conceal the origin of the cargo. These activities demonstrate Iran's resilience in the face of economic restrictions. The increased ship-to-ship transfers are a key component of this circumvention strategy.
