Desk note: Monexus's MENA desk treats claims sourced solely to Iranian state and IRGC-linked outlets, Tasnim, Fars, Tasnim Plus, as primary-source material that must be flagged as such. The 40-million-barrel export figure and the 20 percent premium are reported here as Qalibaf's claims, not as independently established facts. Western wire confirmation of price, volume, and the precise terms of the lifting of the maritime measures had not appeared in the source set at the time of writing.
