The oil data analytics firm Vortexa announced on Thursday that only about 4 million barrels of Iranian crude oil exited the Sea of Oman between April 13 and 25, marking an 80% decrease from the same period in March when Iran exported 23.4 million barrels. U.S. Central Command reported that orders have been given to 44 commercial vessels to change course or return to port since the implementation of the U.S. maritime blockade of Iran.
