Al Jazeera reported that despite the U.S. naval blockade against Iran, Iranian oil sales continue in the Eastern Outer Port Limit (EOPL) off the coast of eastern Malaysia. Satellite data shows that over the past month, at least 18 Iranian-flagged oil tankers have entered these waters, switched off their Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), and conducted ship-to-ship transfers, with Chinese refineries as their primary destinations. Experts note that activity in this region—which serves as an unofficial market for sanctioned oil—remains as busy as ever.
