Defying U.S. Sanctions, China and Others Take Oil from 12 Iranian Tankers
(New York Times) Anjali Singhvi - China and other countries are receiving oil shipments from a larger number of Iranian tankers than was previously known, defying U.S. sanctions, an investigation by the New York Times has found. The Times examined the movements of more than 70 Iranian tankers since May 2, when the American sanctions took full effect. Twelve of the tankers loaded oil after May 2 and delivered it to China or the Eastern Mediterranean, where the buyers may have included Syria or Turkey. An analyst said the scale of the shipments documented by the investigation is greater than what had been publicly known.
