Iran can go up to two months without oil exports before cutting output, analysts say

Iran can reportedly withstand a complete halt in oil exports for up to two months before it would need to curb production, after the U.S. began blocking shipping in and out of the country's ports on April 13. The move raises sanctions and geopolitical risk for global crude flows, with potential implications for energy prices and tanker logistics. The article is cautionary for oil markets but does not yet indicate an immediate production cut.
