Outlets disagree on this: Trump claimed the naval blockade is removing millions of barrels of oil per week from Iran, but an unnamed Iranian official cited by the Jerusalem Post claims Iran sold seventy million barrels of oil in the past month or two and sells oil daily to American ships at full production levels, suggesting the blockade is not significantly curtailing Iranian oil sales.
