Illicit Iranian Oil Sales Total $90 Billion in Past Three Years, Fueling Tehran's Terror Proxies
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - "Iran has managed to sell $90 billion worth of U.S.-sanctioned oil [over the past three years], setting new export records in the process," according to the latest figures published by United Against a Nuclear Iran. Iran's fleet of illegal oil tankers have delivered the country's heavily sanctioned crude to China, Syria, Venezuela, and other nations. "For January 2024, Iranian exports to China hit 1 million barrels per day. The revenue from these sales is fundamental not only for the regime's survival but also as a critical source of funds disbursed to its terror proxies, including the Houthi movement in Yemen," UANI reported. In 2020, 70 ships were suspected of transferring Iranian crude products across the globe. Just three years later, that fleet has grown to at least 395, according to UANI.
