Mohsen Rezaee warns Iran will halt oil exports if the administration's economic war against Tehran continues.

Mohsen Rezaee, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that Iran will cease exporting oil from the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. continues its economic war. The administration announced a major financial offensive aimed at severing every economic lifeline of the Iranian regime. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that President Trump has dismantled Iran's military capabilities and destroyed nearly 100% of its military factories. He noted that the era of Iranian retaliation being certain and American enforcement being negotiable is over. Simultaneously, Iran has begun blacklisting vessels that violate its protocols for the Strait of Hormuz, threatening fines, seizure, or confiscation. While the administration prepares for its 'economic D-Day,' shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz remains below pre-conflict levels but shows a slight uptick. The Iranian official's warning comes as the U.S. and Iran continue to exchange strikes, with the Strait of Hormuz as a primary flashpoint.
