Iran's fleet stranded near Sri Lanka

Reports indicate that a fleet of around 20 Iranian oil tankers, most of which are empty, are stranded off the coast of Sri Lanka after the United States halted their return to Iranian ports through a naval blockade. These tankers, commonly used to circumvent sanctions, are located near Sri Lanka's maritime borders and are avoiding Iranian waters out of fear of interception or targeting, amid the escalation of the American blockade that began in April. This has heightened control over vessel movements and hindered Iran's oil exports across the Indian Ocean. This blockade represents a new escalation that extends beyond the Gulf to other parts of the Indian Ocean, highlighting Iran’s increasing inability to export its oil normally.
