Iran's Oil Exports Collapse to Six-Year Low as Blockade Tightens

Iran's oil exports fell to their lowest level in at least six years in May as the U. S. naval blockade continued to choke off crude shipments and leave tens of millions of barrels stranded at sea.

According to shipping data from Vortexa, Iran exported just 209,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil and condensate in May, down from 1. 34 million bpd in April and nearly 1. 9 million bpd in March.
