Iranian advisor says US cannot block oil exports

Mohsen Rezaei, a military advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that the U.S. cannot stop Iran's oil exports. Rezaei asserted that no country has the ability to block Iran's oil shipments and urged President Donald Trump to focus on resolving the widespread chaos within the U.S. government, economy, and military instead of bluffing. The comments follow an announcement from U.S. Central Command last week that its forces had rerouted 30 ships as part of an operation to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
