Is Iran actually earning more from oil mid-war?
Yes, by $2.5bn: Iran's semi-official Fars agency says oil revenue since late March ran $2.5bn ahead of the same period in 2025.

The figure lands as US strikes hit oil-linked targets in Khuzestan, the export heartland funding Tehran's war, with Brent still well above pre-war levels.
