Iran Uses Old Tankers As Floating Storage

developing Al Araby Radio Qatar Tehran 14d11d Impact 8

Iran is reportedly storing quantities of unsold crude oil in abandoned storage tanks to avoid a total production halt. The disagreement concerns both the specific terms of a potential agreement and the methods of negotiation. Pakistani mediators expect a new proposal from Tehran in the coming days. This follows the rejection of a previous version by Donald Trump, whose advisors remain skeptical of Iranian observations regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian responses to recent attacks may target more Iranian objectives, but the situation will not force Iran to seek peace. No specific timeline for these actions was provided. The report notes that Iran is engaging in maritime negotiations to reach an agreement with Washington. These efforts follow US sanctions that restrict Iranian oil access to international ports.

The situation is occurring as global oil prices fluctuate amid market regulation efforts. Additionally, oil storage has begun in abandoned containers at southern oil centers. The US Department of Defense estimated Iran's losses at 4.8 billion dollars due to an American blockade in the Persian Gulf. The US Department of Defense described the blockade as a blow to Iran's military capabilities.
