The US Treasury Secretary said he will continue to "maximum pressure" on Iran.

On January 21st, US Treasury Secretary Bentsen posted on social media that the US Navy will continue to block Iranian ports, and the US Treasury Department will continue to "maximum pressure" on Iran. Bentsen said that within a few days, the storage facilities at Iran's key oil export hub on Kharg Island will reach saturation, and Iranian oil wells will be shut down. He stated that restricting Iranian maritime trade can directly strike at its main source of income. Bentsen also said that the US Treasury Department will continue to "maximum pressure" on Iran through "economic fury actions" to "systematically weaken Iran's ability to raise, transfer, and repatriate funds."
