Latest incidents, closures and operational alerts reported for Khark Island. Stay informed before planning calls.
US blockade of Iran has caused Iranian oil exports via the Gulf to plunge over 90%, with only four tankers carrying petrochemicals departing in May 2026. This represents a major disruption to tanker traffic in the Persian Gulf region, severely curtailing Iranian maritime oil export routes.
The Strait of Hormuz is experiencing unprecedented IRGCN military pressure, with over 200 small craft massed near Larak Island, dark vessels being harassed or boarded, and commercial ships using cargo as armor against kinetic threats. Kharg Island's crude loading infrastructure has been offline for 12+ consecutive days across both terminals, causing tanker queues to dissolve and Iran to reroute logistics through small-craft networks, while a parallel enforcement crackdown on shadow fleet tankers (including the French/UK boarding of the Aframax TAGOR off Brest) is compounding disruptions across both the Gulf and European waters.
