Millions of barrels of Iranian oil stuck beyond Trump's blockade in Southeast Asian waters
Millions of barrels of Iranian oil sit off the coast of Malaysia, despite a US blockade at the Persian Gulf, as the country vows to prevent 'zero leakage' from its shipping vessels. The oil is stored on tankers east of Singapore and far from U.S. warships enforcing the blockade.
Millions of barrels of Iranian oil sit stranded in Malaysian waters near Singapore, despite a US blockade enforced by warships in the Persian Gulf, with nearly 40 million barrels of crude remaining on tankers, awaiting export. The oil is bound for countries including China and India, but its fate remains uncertain due to ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States. Iranian officials have vowed that there will be 'zero leakage' of the oil, amid concerns about potential environmental damage if it were to spill.
