The US military has stated that sanctions have prevented Iran from exporting 30 billion barrels of oil.

It added that efforts continue to stop Iran from using land routes and the Caspian Sea to transport weapons, according to Al Arabiya.

The US military also said that 1.7 billion barrels of oil have been shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, and that it has assisted around 4,000 vessels in passing through the strait.

The US military continues to tighten its maritime blockade on Iran alongside economic pressure, aiming to push Tehran into negotiations without preconditions.
