The data shows Iran modifies its oil export methods because of rising Israeli conflict by keeping crude exports steady while using strategic tanker operation methods to reduce risks.
The country has increased its crude oil loading capacity to 2.2 million barrels per day during the past five weeks while moving floating storage units to positions near Chinese ports. The offshore storage of 8 million barrels has shifted from Singapore to Chinese ports according to analyst reports.
The Kharg Island export terminal operates at its eastern jetty which remains active although it shows limited activity. The Persian Gulf region hosts between 15 to 16 tankers while the western jetty remains inactive for several days.
The missile exchanges between Iran and Israel have damaged energy facilities in both countries yet the major oil facilities including Kharg Island have escaped significant destruction.
The Iranian oil exports have maintained their 1.7 million barrels per day level throughout 2025 despite fresh U.S. sanctions and rising regional tensions. The analysts believe Iran maintains its exports through its shadow fleet operations combined with strategic routing methods.
The economic stability of Iran depends heavily on its export capabilities because military tensions in the region continue to rise.
