The "Trump Effect" is real, and Iran is panicking at the prospect of Donald Trump's return to the White House.
"Iran is struggling with a sharp decline in oil exports to China and seeks to offload reserves stored in Chinese ports ahead of Donald Trump's return to Washington.
Data from Kpler, a commodity intelligence company that tracks oil tankers, reveals that Iran's oil exports to China have been declining since October. Over the past two months, daily oil deliveries from Iran to China have dropped below 1.3 million barrels, which is 550,000 barrels fewer than in October.
Meanwhile, Iran's unsold floating oil reserves have more than doubled during this period, reaching approximately 20 million barrels.
A source at the National Iranian Oil Company, confirming the significant decline in oil exports, told Iran International that the primary issue lies in logistics. The source explained that recent US sanctions targeting dozens of oil tankers have complicated the transport of Iranian oil to East Asian waters and its covert delivery to China: “Iran hopes to resolve this issue in the coming months by purchasing more tankers,” the source who wished to remain anonymous added.
So far, 380 tankers carrying sanctioned Iranian oil have been identified, with half added to the US blacklist."

"JERUSALEM—President-elect Donald Trump’s slated revival of his maximum pressure campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran coupled with a chronic gas shortage in the nation could be the one-two punch that topples the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism, according to one prominent expert.
"This gas shortage inside Iran is highly significant and exposes the regime’s growing vulnerabilities across multiple fronts. From the defeats of Hezbollah and Hamas in their conflicts with Israel, to the losses of the Houthis in Yemen and the collapse of the Syrian regime under Assad, we see a consistent erosion of the regime's influence," Lisa Daftari, an expert on Iran and editor-in-chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital.
She continued, "Add to this the plummeting Rial and the staggering mismanagement of resources despite the loosening of sanctions and billions handed over through lopsided deals under Biden's watch—it's no surprise the regime is under immense pressure."
