White House: Iran has exported no oil since blockade resumed
The White House says Iran has not exported oil since last month's blockade, as US Central Command reports redirecting 82 ships and disabling three.
The White House has stated that Iran has not exported any oil since the recent resumption of the blockade. US Central Command has reported the redirection of 82 ships and the disabling of three vessels as part of the maritime blockade imposed on Iran. This assertion was made in response to claims made by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who stated that Iran had sold approximately 90 million barrels of oil during the interim agreement period.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has also confirmed that the Strait of Hormuz is closed to any vessels attempting to pass without prior coordination with Iranian authorities. The United States maintains its enforcement of the maritime blockade and the tightening of economic sanctions on Iran, with the aim of compelling Tehran to return to the negotiating table without preconditions.
Simultaneously, Iran is striving to maintain control over the Strait of Hormuz. Efforts are underway to revive negotiations and alleviate tensions between the United States and Iran.
