US mentions oil stolen from Iran in its imports data
The US Energy Department has mentioned illegally confiscated oil shipments from Iran in its 2022 imports data.
A Wednesday report by the official IRNA news agency showed that some 507,000 barrels of crude oil from Iran had been included in import tables released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) for January-December 2022.
Iran has no official exports of crude oil to the US. That comes as Washington imposes sanctions on any country or entity that is engaged in trade of crude oil from Iran.
The US government has also sought to confiscate Iranian oil shipments in territorial or international waters as part of its efforts to choke off Iran’s oil revenues.
However, the campaign has largely failed because many countries have refused to comply with judicial orders issued by US courts on the issue.
Iran has described attempts to confiscate its seaborne oil cargoes as act of piracy while warning that it would seize shipments bound for the US to compensate for losses that could be incurred.
