Tanker Dandelion is likely trying to run the US blockade with Iranian LPG taken on off Oman, UANI says

United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) says the tanker Dandelion is likely attempting to breach the US blockade with about 490,000 barrels of Iranian LPG, OilPrice.com reported on 2 November, citing the group's 29 October shipping update. According to UANI, Dandelion took on the cargo on 26 October in a ship-to-ship transfer off Oman from Sea Opera, which had loaded at Assaluyeh on 26 August and spent two months loitering in the Gulf of Oman. UANI also says it has tracked no tanker laden with Iranian crude leaving the Gulf of Oman and avoiding US enforcement since 12 July. It counts at least 53 tankers laden with Iranian oil along Iran's coast.
