US-Israel-Iran War Live News: Iran claims its crude oil production capacity grew by approximately 8.3% over the past two years, reaching 3.715 million barrels per day (bpd) in late 2026. According to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), daily capacity climbed from 3.43 million bpd in August 2024 despite acute financial constraints, severe technological barriers, ongoing war, and intense Western sanctions.
While Tehran broadcasts these capacity milestones, independent energy trackers paint a starkly contrasting picture regarding the country’s actual ability to monetize and export this crude.
