Fox last night reported that Iran is hoarding millions of barrels of oil on super tankers screwing up supply AND throwing a kink into the shipping system. Only confirmation I could find is this dubious sounding site:

Iran has booked a supertanker that can store up to 270,000 tons of crude oil for up to 90 days. Iran already has more than 28 million barrels of oil floating in tankers outside its main export terminal in the Persian Gulf. Something is wrong with this picture
