Basant claimed that Iran will have no oil to sell this week.
Scott Basant, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, claimed that Washington’s military and economic actions have severely limited Iran’s defense capabilities and sources of revenue.
He said the U.S. has initiated an economic exclusion campaign to cut off Iran’s financial and trade connections following military operations and a naval blockade.
Basant claimed that for the first time since Iran began exporting oil, it will have no new shipments for sale on the water this week, and its oil revenue is nearing zero.
However, the figure of 11 billion dollars in the published text does not specify what time frame or index it refers to, and it is better not to use it in the news. The U.S. Treasury Department had also previously claimed that Iran did not load any crude oil onto tankers in September.
