This is a shameless attempt to fabricate a scandal because neither of you can challenge the actual data. Neither of you has disproved a single number. You saw an Iranian analyst using Iran’s historic flag and manufactured suspicion out of nothing. Kpler is not one guy sitting at home counting ships. It tracks more than 660,000 vessels and processes over a billion AIS signals every day. Its figures are checked against satellite images, ports, terminal loadings, tanker draught, ship-to-ship transfers and deliveries to buyers. One employee cannot make 1.7 million barrels a day disappear. The ships, ports, customers and competing tracking firms would expose it immediately. One of you admits Kpler is reliable and independently corroborated, then suggests manipulation anyway. The other calls it a Western intelligence operation without providing a single piece of evidence. The Lion and Sun shows that this analyst opposes the Islamic Republic. It does not change where tankers are located or how much oil they carry. If the September figure is false, name the tanker that left Iran, crossed the blockade and delivered its cargo. Show the ship, route, terminal or buyer. Until then, this is not analysis. You cannot refute the data, so you attack the analyst instead. That is a textbook genetic fallacy.
