How Iran Hides Its Secret Oil Trade
(Forbes) Ellen R. Wald - New data on oil shipments in September reveals that the Iranian oil industry is still robust. According to TankerTrackers.com, Iran has actually been exporting much more oil to many more destinations than we have been led to believe. While India says it has significantly decreased imports of Iranian oil, India's imports of Iranian oil have actually remained virtually unchanged between August and September. A good example of today's secret oil trade is the tanker Yufusan, which was first seen picking up Iranian oil before loading up its remaining space with Kuwaiti oil, thus appearing to be a tanker of Kuwaiti oil, before heading to Japan.
