The first tankers carrying Iranian crude oil have left the Strait of Hormuz since the US naval blockade began two months ago, a ship-tracking website announced on June 17.
This comes as senior representatives of Iran and the United States are scheduled to sign a preliminary agreement in Switzerland aimed at ending the war on June 19.
The website Tanker Trackers, which tracks the storage and transportation of oil cargoes, has confirmed the movement of “Iran’s first crude oil export in two months,” based on digital data matched with satellite imagery.
At least two tankers of the National Iranian Tanker Company, including two very large supertankers carrying crude oil named “Diona” and “Hero 2″, have passed through the US Navy’s maritime blockade zone, loading a total of 3.8 million barrels of Iranian crude oil from the country’s terminals and are moving towards their destinations,” Tanker Trackers wrote on X.
The company then announced that a third Iranian tanker had passed through the US naval blockade.
