Iran’s oil exports are rising and the sector is growing for the first time in two years. The recovery poses a dilemma for Biden, who faces a growing constituency in Tehran unsure if there's enough to be gained should the US be allowed to rejoin the JCPOA.
◢ A new report from TankerTrackers.com indicates that Iran exported an average 2.2 million bpd of crude oil in the first two weeks of October, a 10 percent rise from the September average. October’s higher export volumes could reflect long-standing customers buying more oil ahead of planned reductions in November, when sanctions are expected to prevent many refiners from taking Iranian crude.
◢ Iran is resorting to “Houdini tricks” to sustain oil exports as US sanctions loom and new data suggests the magic might be working. While S&P Global Platts has reported Iran’s September exports at about 1.7 million bpd, marking an 11 percent decline from August, data from TankerTrackers.com, puts the export volume at just over 2 million bpd. The divergence in the datasets represents not merely 300,000 bpd, but also the difference between two narratives about the state of Iran’s exports in the face of returning US sanctions.
