The US has increased pressure on Iran amid broad antigovernment protests as US military assets began amassing in the region in January 2026 (MSN [Wall Street Journal], Jerusalem Post, NPR).

The data for a month as first reported will count, and subsequent revisions to past months are immaterial. The average daily crude oil production by Iran in November 2025 was 3,221 tb/d (OPEC - MOMR December 2025, see Table 5 - 7 on page 51).
