Illegal Iranian Oil Sales Skyrocketing
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - From January 2021 to June 2022, Iran sold $44.7 billion in oil, primarily to China. Iran's export revenues between March 2021 and March 2022 from oil and gas "totaled $39 billion, compared [with] $22 billion for the previous year," according to United Against a Nuclear Iran (UANI), a watchdog group that tracks Iran's oil tankers. "The Iranian leadership does not feel pressure to finalize the nuclear deal because they've already enjoyed the benefits of effective sanctions relief," said Gabriel Noronha, a former State Department special adviser for Iran.
