Milan, 22 April (LaPresse) – ‘The US Navy will continue to block Iranian ports. Within a few days, the storage facilities on Kharg Island will be full and Iran’s fragile oil wells will be shut down. Restricting Iran’s maritime trade directly impacts the regime’s main sources of income.’ This is what US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote in a post on social media platform X. ‘The Treasury Department will continue to apply maximum pressure through Economic Fury to systematically weaken Tehran’s ability to generate, transfer and repatriate funds,’ he adds, "any person or vessel facilitating these flows — through covert trade and finance — risks being subject to US sanctions. We continue to freeze funds stolen by the corrupt leadership in the name of the Iranian people."
