[Two Iranian oil tankers changed their destination to Pakistan, possibly as a temporary safety evasion marker] (1) Ship tracking data shows that the "Rani" and "Amil" oil tankers, carrying a total of 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil, changed their destination markers to Karachi, Pakistan on Tuesday. This move is relatively rare and may indicate that the ships are seeking a relatively safe location to observe the situation after the United States restarted its maritime blockade. (2) However, it is unlikely that the two oil tankers will actually unload their cargo in Pakistan, as doing so would expose Pakistan to the risk of violating US sanctions. Kpler data shows that Pakistan has not imported Iranian crude oil for at least ten years. (3) A senior market analyst at Vortexa explained that the ships may have chosen to sail closer to Pakistan to avoid US warships and marked Karachi as a transit destination, which is more likely a temporary strategic adjustment than the final unloading destination.
