Iran's floating oil storage has decreased to a five-month supply. This is due to a blockade that has reduced crude loadings to one-seventh of pre-war levels. The blockade's impact on China's oil supply is a key concern.
The Trump administration has vowed to prevent any leakage of Iranian oil. The Maritime Executive and Iran International have detailed the reduction in oil storage and loadings. Fox News and the South China Morning Post have focused on the blockade's implications for global oil supply.
The exact impact on China's oil supply is not yet clear.
