Photos: The Global Cost of the Iran War

California’s last incoming shipment of oil from the Middle East for a long time—the crude-oil tanker New Corolla—unloads at the Marathon Petroleum terminal, in the Port of Long Beach, on May 7, 2026. The Los Angeles Times reported that the New Corolla loaded up in Iraq on February 24, just days before U.S. and Israeli forces launched attacks on Iran. Once the conflict is resolved and the blockades lifted, it will still take months for the next tanker to be loaded and make the trip to California.
