(1) According to the United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), the U.S. blockade of Iran has resulted in dozens of fully loaded oil tankers stranded along Iran's coast, while some other tankers are anchored outside the Persian Gulf near Sri Lanka. (2) In its routine shipping update released on October 5, UANI stated that at least 50 oil tankers carrying Iranian oil remain stranded near Iran, which is largely unchanged from two months ago. These ships are mainly loaded with crude oil, although some are transporting petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas. (3) UANI also noted that, in other waters, some empty vessels are “anchored at various locations in the Indian Ocean and Pacific region due to the U.S. blockade, rather than returning to Iranian ports.” Currently, 20 Iran-flagged vessels are anchored near Sri Lanka, and 1 is located near Oman.
