What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that oil prices will fall sharply once the conflict with Iran ends. He claimed Iran has only 15 million barrels of oil remaining and that the US is preventing Iranian oil from being exported. Bessent added that Iran could send a final shipment to Beijing within two weeks while the blockade imposed by Donald Trump remains in place.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Bessent argued that Iran would lose its ability to obtain goods in exchange for oil within two weeks due to the current pressures. He also reported that Iran's missile and drone capabilities suffered severe damage, with 85 to 90 per cent of its missile factories destroyed.
