“...following attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia”
The straw that broke the camel’s back.
Europe has apparently stopped supporting them as a result of that attack. It is likely that shortage of hard currency itself (being broke) is a big factor in what is happening - not just a processing glitch.
Looks like a serious train wreck developing for Iran. They are poorly served by rail, and heavily dependent on shipping for a wide range of imports. They produce little of what they consume, relative to most other countries. Their few ports are getting jammed up, as cargoes are not clearing.
Serious shortages will likely result over the next few weeks and months.
Unless of course, the mullahs get hung from the light posts.
A new regime would likely get a hefty line of credit quickly granted to get supplies flowing in, and oil flowing out.
