[93772] Iranian President Reports Surge in Oil Exports Following Break of Maritime Blockade

Statements on Breaking the Blockade on Iranian Oil Exports

Iranian President, Masoud Pezeshkian, stated that Iran has managed to export 16 million barrels of oil in the last two days alone, following a period of total blockage during which, according to him, "during the period of the maritime blockade, we did not export even a single barrel of oil," as reported by the channels اخبارفوری and הات نیوز.

Simultaneously, the CEO of the National Iranian Oil Company provided broader figures, according to which, since last Monday, "our ships have crossed the theoretical blockade line with 25 million barrels of oil." These reports received wide resonance in channels identified with pro-government Iranian media, such as اخبارفوری and خبر فوری جنگ ایران.

In addition to the export figures, Pezeshkian noted that the return of approximately 6 billion dollars of Iranian funds held in Qatar is expected, a move that may ease the economic pressure in the country. Channels like اقتصاد امروز emphasized that these figures represent a departure from the previous restrictions imposed on the country.

The primary sources of information in this coverage – اخبارفوری, ir_b0, and irZagrosNews – are identified as channels supporting the institutional and military line in Iran, and therefore the reports present a narrative of victory against international sanctions and the alleged maritime blockade.
