According to CoinMeta, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen: Previously, the main oil shipping terminals in Iran were filled with oil tankers. Nowadays, no crude oil transport ships can be seen. Halq Island is now nothing more than a monument, witnessing the only thing the Iranian regime can still produce – failure. The arrogance and belligerent attitude of the Iranian regime continue to come at a cost to the ordinary Iranian people. "Economic isolation measures" are cutting off the regime's lifeline of oil, preventing it from obtaining resources needed to fund terrorism, purchase nuclear-related materials, and maintain the luxurious lifestyle of the elite members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard.
