Tracking Data Show Diverging Routes for Iranian Oil Tankers Intercepted by US Forces

Maritime tracking data have revealed different paths taken by tankers carrying Iranian oil after they were intercepted or detained by US forces.

Some of the vessels are heading toward the Atlantic Ocean with their full cargoes of Iranian crude, according to the tracking information.

Other tankers have remained in Asia, highlighting a split in the vessels’ movements following the US actions.

The available information does not identify the tankers or specify their final destinations. It also does not establish whether the vessels still in Asia will move elsewhere or what will happen to their cargoes.
