Since Trump took office, US daily oil production has increased by 1.6 million to 2.2 million barrels. He stated that risks must be mitigated, and the Strait of Hormuz will be "bypassed" within two years, rendering the strait "worthless waters," with oil transported via land pipelines instead of the Strait of Hormuz. Regarding Iran, he mentioned that 85%-90% of Iranian factories have the capacity to rebuild, and Iran may possess the worlds third-largest energy resources. Furthermore, the US is likely to announce bank sanctions this week and next, and has received strong support from the EU, the European Central Bank, the UK, the UAE, and Bahrain. The US has zero tolerance for Iran and will economically stifle its development. The US will also be monitoring aircraft leasing companies linked to Iran. Bessenter stated, "We know that funds stolen from the Iranian people through accounts in the British Virgin Islands can be returned to them, and Iranian funds can also be used to help victims of terrorism."
