Iran Keeps Loading Oil Onto Tankers Even as US Blocks Exit Route

Iran is continuing to load millions of barrels of oil onto supertankers, an activity that will only become increasingly difficult if the US keeps up a blockade on Tehran’s shipping.

Images from the European Union’s Sentinel 1 satellite, captured on Monday, show one very large crude carrier that’s capable of hauling about 2 million barrels of oil, moored at the jetty on Kharg Island. An earlier image from Saturday showed no ships moored at Kharg.
