Donald Trump: Iran is losing its ability to store oil
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Sunday that Iran is losing its ability to store oil due to the U.S. naval blockade.
In a phone interview with Fox News, he said that the flow of oil in Iran’s pipeline cannot be stored in tankers because of the naval blockade, and within about three days, Iran’s oil infrastructure will explode.
Trump continued, saying that when such an event occurs, it can never be rebuilt, and if it is rebuilt, it will operate at 50% capacity.
Despite extending the ceasefire with Iran, the U.S. President has continued the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. military says it will not allow tankers and other ships to enter or leave Iran’s ports.
However, there have been reports of ships related to Iran entering and leaving in recent days.
In an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump reiterated that if Iran wants to negotiate to end the war between the two countries, it can contact the U.S.
