Despite US Blockade: Maritime Data Reveals Iran Continues Oil Loading Through Strait of Hormuz

 Bloomberg revealed today, Saturday, April 25, 2026, based on satellite imagery and ship-tracking data, that Tehran continues to load crude oil onto its tankers in direct defiance of the U.S. naval blockade imposed on the Strait of Hormuz. Conversely, the U.S. Secretary of Defense confirmed that naval forces successfully redirected 34 vessels attempting to reach Iranian ports since the military operation began on April 13, emphasizing the strict measures taken to sever the energy lifeline of the Iranian regime and dry up its funding sources.
