Iranian oil exports fall after US sanctions are tightened

Iranian oil exports fall after US sanctions are tightened

Iran’s oil exports have fallen since the United States sharply tightened sanctions in late August.

The sanctions target Iran and are intended to put economic pressure on its government.

Iranian tankers are now drifting empty in international waters.

That points to a disruption in the country’s oil trade.

One major customer still buys oil from Iran, though its identity is not stated.

The available information does not say what will happen next.
