President Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Iran, stating the country is under time pressure because its oil infrastructure is at risk. He claimed that if Iran does not get its oil moving, its entire oil infrastructure is going to explode because they have no place to store it. This continues the administration's public pressure campaign targeting Iran's critical energy sector. The comments suggest the US blockade and sanctions are intended to create an internal crisis within Iran by crippling its oil exports.
