Three Iranian crude oil tankers have left the Strait of Hormuz area for the first time in two months.
This was reported by TankerTrackers, which tracks the movement of oil vessels using satellite imagery.
According to the monitoring service, the tankers Diona and Hero II exported about 3.8 million barrels of crude oil from Iran. Later, a third tanker, the Sonia I, left the blockade area, carrying about another one million barrels of oil.
This brings the total volume of Iranʼs first oil exports in two months to about 4.8 million barrels. Another Stream tanker is approaching the blockade area after seven weeks of waiting off the coast of Pakistan.
- The tankers passed through the strait amid a peace deal between the US and Iran. It was agreed on the night of June 15 and will be officially signed on the 19th in Geneva, Switzerland. One of the terms of the agreement is the unblocking of the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian ports.
- At the same time, global oil prices have begun to decline amid the agreement, but risks to the market remain, particularly due to Israelʼs position.
