Iran has exported 50 million barrels of crude oil since the United States lifted its naval blockade on the country’s energy exports, according to tanker-tracking firm TankerTrackers.com.
The company said Iran shipped an average of 1.66 million barrels per day during June 2026. It added that the country’s oil exports have recovered faster than those of other regional producers.
According to TankerTrackers.com, most countries in the region continue to export crude below their pre-war levels despite easing tensions.
The increase in Iranian exports follows the lifting of the US naval blockade under a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by Washington and Tehran on June 17.
After the agreement, the US Treasury issued a 60-day authorization allowing the production, marketing, and sale of Iranian crude oil through August 21.
The temporary authorization has enabled Iran to resume exports to international buyers after months of restrictions that had significantly reduced shipments.
The recovery in exports is expected to provide a boost to Iran’s oil revenues while increasing global crude supplies during the authorization period.
Energy market observers will closely monitor whether the temporary waiver is extended beyond August or replaced with a longer-term arrangement as diplomatic negotiations continue.
The latest export figures indicate that Iran has rapidly restored a substantial portion of its oil trade following the easing of US restrictions, while several neighboring exporters have yet to return to their previous shipment levels.
