Iran’s Leaders Turn to Old Supertanker to Survive US Blockade

Iran is utilizing an old oil tanker to store crude oil as it faces export restrictions due to U.S. sanctions. The supertanker ‘Nasha’ is loading oil in the Persian Gulf, leading to a decrease in oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. is intensifying the blockade by confining ships to Iranian ports, and President Trump continues to pressure Iran for a nuclear deal.
