“At least two supertankers from the National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC), named Diona and Hero2, crossed the perimeter of the US Navy blockade carrying between them a total of 3.8 million barrels of Iranian crude oil,” the site said on X, later reporting the passage of a third Iranian tanker. “These are Iran’s first crude oil exports in two months,” he notes.
