Iran Claims Oil Exports Continue Despite US Waiver Cancellation
🛢️ TEHRAN — Iran says exports flow; Washington says the taps are off. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Tehran's claim is a direct challenge to the blockade's credibility.

The audience for this statement is Beijing and Delhi: reassurance that supply contracts still clear. Washington's blockade works only if buyers believe it.
