Jaringan kapal tanker tua terus mengirimkan minyak mentah Iran ke Tiongkok meskipun ada sanksi Amerika Serikat dan blokade angkatan laut. Transfer dilakukan di perairan internasional di lepas pantai Malaysia. Negosiator telah mencapai kerangka gencatan senjata sementara selama 60 hari yang dapat melonggarkan blokade tersebut.

The Wall Street Journal mengamati transfer antar-kapal pada awal Mei di dekat Eastern Outer Port Limits, sekitar 45 mil di lepas pantai Malaysia. Kapal tanker yang terkena sanksi memindahkan kargo ke kapal-kapal anonim yang kemudian menuju kilang-kilang di Tiongkok. Iran memperoleh sekitar $31 miliar dari penjualan minyak ke Tiongkok selama setahun terakhir, yang menutupi hampir 45 persen anggaran pemerintahnya.

Tehran has tied broader talks with Washington to changes in maritime restrictions as the standoff over the Strait of Hormuz drags on.

The United States has expanded its maritime blockade on Iranian-linked vessels, intercepting ships bound for China and pressuring Beijing's energy supplies. U.S. forces boarded the sanctioned tanker M/T Tifani in the Indo-Pacific on April 21, while another vessel, the Rich Starry, turned back from the Strait of Hormuz.

In the escalating Strait of Hormuz crisis—now in its fourth week after Iran's March blockade—the US has started enforcing President Donald Trump's April 13 sanctions by blocking ships carrying drones to and from Iranian ports. The move intensifies pressure on Tehran to reopen the vital oil chokepoint amid failed nuclear talks.

China's imports of Russian crude spiked in January and February 2026, comprising over one-fifth of its total imported crude by volume.
