What happened
Iran has exported liquefied petroleum gas and jet fuel despite a U.S. naval blockade that has brought its crude exports to a virtual standstill. At least eight gas tankers carrying Iranian LPG have left the Gulf of Oman since mid-July. Separately, a tanker carrying Iranian jet fuel reached Myanmar in September, according to analysis by United Against Nuclear Iran and SynMax.

Why it matters
These shipments, while representing only a fraction of Iran's former energy exports, provide evidence of petroleum products passing through the blockade. Six of the eight gas tankers and the jet-fuel tanker mentioned are under U.S. sanctions for transporting Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products.
The Iranian shadow fleet is moving oil through Malaysian waters, and Iranian crude oil is being smuggled to Chinese refineries via offshore zones off the coast of Malaysia.
