🔸The US Treasury Secretary says that since the United States has re-established a maritime blockade of Iranian ports, no shipment of Iranian crude oil has been able to successfully pass through the Strait of Hormuz and reach China.

🔸Scott Bessent wrote on Friday, ۱۳ Shahrivar, on the X network: “Iran’s reserves are also not replaceable, because crude oil has been piling up in tankers trapped in the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔸He emphasized that “the ‘vital artery’ of Iran’s oil exports is being cut off: oil trapped in ships, limited storage capacity, and revenues that are rapidly declining.”

🔸Following attacks attributed to Iran on several oil tankers in mid-Tir month, the US Army carried out attacks on various points in Iran for two weeks, and the forces of the Islamic Republic also targeted several countries in the region with missiles and drones.

🔸These clashes have effectively undone the Islamabad agreement to end the war, and the United States resumed the maritime blockade of Iran as of ۲۳ Tir month.
