מה קרה

A US naval blockade has stopped tanker loading at Iran's key Kharg Island oil terminal since July 31, halting crude exports. Satellite data shows empty berths and minimal tanker traffic, severely disrupting Iran's oil revenue. While Iran still earns from prior shipments, these are expected to end soon, and the blockade also traps empty tankers abroad. Iran may be cutting production to manage storage amid the export halt.
