Iran’s daily oil revenue doubles amid US-Israeli aggression: Report
Iran has reportedly doubled its daily oil revenue since late February, leveraging the ongoing US-Israeli pressure aggression into a strategic financial advantage.
According to a recent analysis by The Economist, as the aggression enters its fifth week, the geopolitical landscape has shifted dramatically in the energy sector.
The effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint through which approximately 15% of the world’s oil supply typically flows—has led to a collapse in revenues for Persian Gulf monarchies while simultaneously swelling Tehran’s coffers.
Data cited by The Economist indicates that Iran is currently exporting between 2.4 and 2.8 million barrels per day (bpd), comprising 1.5 to 1.8 million bpd of crude oil and the remainder of condensates.
With global supplies tightening due to the instability, oil prices have surged, and Iran has capitalized on the shift.
Analysts note that Tehran’s oil machine has demonstrated significant resilience, adapting to ongoing hostilities and sanctions to maintain operations.
China remains the primary destination, absorbing over 90% of Iran’s exports.

Small, independent “teapot” refineries are reportedly purchasing Iranian crude at prices nearing Brent crude benchmarks.
In a notable shift from previous years when Iranian oil traded at steep discounts due to sanctions, the commodity is now being sold at premium rates.
Economists suggest this dynamic has provided Tehran with unprecedented financial strength during a period of intense military and economic pressure from the United States and Israel.
Observers point to the development as a case of resilience and strategic adaptation, allowing the Islamic Republic to mitigate the impact of imperialist threats despite efforts to isolate its energy sector.
The criminal US-Israeli aggression against Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and senior Iranian officials and commanders.
The Iranian armed forces have responded by launching almost daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
Iran has also blocked the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with the enemies and those cooperating with them.
