Iran has considerable volumes and barrels of oil in floating storage. It could quickly release should a deal with the United States be finalized.
In an update earlier this month, OilX claimed that Iran has some 40 million barrels. The bulk of which is probably condensate.

“Iran has built up a sizable flotilla of cargoes that could hit the market fairly soon,” John Driscoll from JTD Energy Services told Bloomberg.
