Evading US Surveillance: A Massive Iranian Oil Shipment Heads Toward Indonesian Waters

Specialized maritime tracking reports indicated that a giant Iranian oil tanker successfully evaded US surveillance and naval blockades, safely reaching Indonesian waters. Navigation reports explained that the tanker, carrying an estimated 1.9 million barrels of crude oil valued at approximately $220 million and belonging to the National Iranian Oil Company, managed to slip past international tracking systems during advanced stages of its journey. According to the data, the vessel was last spotted near the Sri Lankan coast over a week ago and is currently traversing the Lombok Strait in Indonesia towards the Riau Archipelago. The tanker reportedly turned off its Automatic Identification System (AIS) in late March after leaving the Strait of Malacca, a common tactic used by vessels to avoid strict international detection.
