Neutral analysis
Tanker tracking data confirms major disruption to Iranian oil exports; the precise reduction percentage is uncertain but a 50-65% cut is consistent with available commercial intelligence.
Verification notes
Commercial vessel tracking from Kpler and TankerTrackers shows a significant drop in tanker traffic from Kharg Island, broadly consistent with a 50-60% reduction. The 65% figure is on the high end of independent estimates. Satellite imagery confirms damage to loading infrastructure.
