Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The US Navy blockade has been effective, causing economic strain on Iran as its materiel slowly dries up and trade declines. The official numbers published by Al Jazeera cover a five-month period, which included one month when a Memorandum of Understanding provided some breathing room.

UAE exports have returned to high levels, and UBS lowered oil price forecasts due to the easing of the U.S. blockade and increased Iranian crude exports.
