Trump: having productive discussions with Iran; We will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections
@realDonaldTrump ·
We are having productive discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to make it clear to everybody that, while Iran is in very bad condition, both Economically and Militarily, and while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, with Oil flowing in Record Numbers of Barrels through the Hormuz Strait (22 Million Barrels, last night alone, with not one barrel coming from, or going to, Iran!), we will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the Midterm Elections to be held in the United States on November 3rd. IRAN WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Today’s action effectively neutralizes the vast majority of Iran’s remaining shadow fleet network. “Treasury is starving the tyrannical regime in Tehran of the money it uses to wage war in the region, and we will continue exposing those who enable the regime’s oil sales,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “No enabler of Iranian sanctions evasion is safe from the full force of Treasury’s authorities.” With the success of the U.S. military’s blockade, dwindling Iranian oil shipments outside the blockage line, and intensifying economic pressure across sectors from Operation Economic Outcast, the regime is running out of options to stabilize Iran’s failing economy. OFAC is taking action against remaining shadow fleet vessels that are continuing to evade U.S. sanctions by transporting Iranian petroleum and petrochemicals. The vessels involved, registered across more than a dozen jurisdictions and operated by an intricate web of international front companies, underscore the global scale of Iran’s illicit shipping architecture and the sophistication with which the regime attempts to mask its sanctions evasion. By dismantling these maritime nodes and the companies behind them, Treasury is severing core channels the Iranian regime has long relied on to circumvent U.S. sanctions, sustain its petrochemical sector, and funnel resources to destabilizing actors. Because this illicit maritime ecosystem is fluid, with vessels routinely entering and ex
