Iran’s oil supply held offshore is increasing as major buyers avoid taking delivery, according to reporting from Bloomberg and Moneyweb. The buildup is linked to Iran’s difficulty finding customers before a U.S.-related deadline tied to a 60-day window. The window is described as having an expiry date set by Washington, after which conditions for Iran-linked oil shipments are expected to tighten further. As that timing approaches, tankers and cargoes remain at sea rather than being purchased and brought into port. Both outlets characterize the situation as a growing “floating stockpile,” reflecting delays in sales and limited demand from key purchasers. While the specific buyer list and volumes are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the core point is consistent: Iran is accumulating more oil on vessels offshore because major buyers are not contracting to lift the cargoes within the permitted period. The reports present the increase as a direct consequence of market hesitation and the approaching end of the U.S. grace window.
