If Iran needs to offer the oil, it will have to be taken out of the tanks and stacked onto a transport, at that point exchanged to another transport at ocean. At that point unused records will have to be drawn up for the oil, an Iranian source said. Abbas Araghchi, who has involvement with Iranian oil and knows the Chinese traditions prepare, told Reuters.
