The Washington Free Beacon quoted Israel's Hayom (Israel Today), a Hebrew-language free daily newspaper, as saying that Iran's global crude oil exports have far-exceeded the one-million barrel-per-day cap set by the West.
The Israeli paper referred to a recent IEA report as saying that Iran's global oil exports in February made the highest record since June 2012.
"The IEA’s monthly report revised February’s global crude imports from Iran upwards by 240,000 barrels per day to 1.65 million barrels per day, the highest since June 2012."
Under an interim deal signed in November between Iran and six world powers—known as the P5+1—that came into effect on Jan. 20, Iran’s exports are supposed to be held to an average one million barrels per day through July 20.
"China accounted for 168,000 barrels per day of the rise in imports in February, India for 93,000 barrels per day and South Korea for 83,000 barrels per day," added the report.
