Summary:

Members of Congress have long expressed concern with Iranian petroleum exports. The October 2023 attacks on Israel by Hamas, which Iran supports, have increased congressional concern. Iran’s exports have risen in 2023, with most of this increase attributed to China. The nature of Iranian petroleum exports (including the range of evasive techniques used to obscure them) complicates efforts to obtain a complete picture of the trade and the effectiveness of U.S. sanctions policy.
