00:00 Despite the strictest sanctions imposed on Iran in 2018, Iran was able to change its oil exports during the past few years.
00:13 In the first quarter, Iran's oil exports rose to a record high of 6 years,
00:18 with exports of 1.5 million barrels per day during the first three months of 2024.
00:26 Oil revenues reached $35 billion in 2023 in Iran.
00:32 But now, Western countries, namely the United States and the European Union,
00:36 are imposing new sanctions on Iran, especially after Israel's attacks on the country on April 15.
00:43 This statement shows Iran's monthly oil exports.
00:47 In February 2024, Iran's oil exports reached a record high since 2019.
00:54 But despite the Iranian attack on Israel, oil prices fell by nearly 3 percent.
01:01 But since October 7, oil prices have risen by nearly 15 percent.
01:07 The number of oil carriers that Iran carries has grown over the past four quarters.
01:11 The number of ships that carry Iranian cargo has grown by 5, reaching 253 carriers in the first quarter of 2023.
01:21 But the number of huge oil carriers that carry Iranian oil has doubled since 2021,
01:28 reaching 2 million barrels per day.
01:32 But where did Iran go in its oil exports?

02:02 due to its attack on Israel,
02:04 will Iran be able to maintain the levels it reached in the first quarter of the year to export oil?
