The United States Treasury Secretary stated that Iran is in "shock" with the impact of sanctions imposed by the American government on the country's economy. The statement comes in a context of growing tension between the two countries.
According to the news, the United States proceeded to freeze Iranian funds as part of the restrictive measures. This financial action represents one of the main tools used by the American administration to pressure Tehran.
Additionally, the Americans have under control millions of barrels of oil that are currently floating, that is, stored in oil tankers. This situation significantly limits Iran's ability to export crude oil and obtain revenue.
The sanctions imposed by the USA aim to exert economic pressure on the Iranian government, affecting key sectors of the country's economy, including the crucial oil sector, which constitutes one of Iran's main sources of income.
