Marco Rubio predicted a complete loss of Iran's ability to export oil.
The US Secretary of State noted that as a result, Tehran will lose all revenue from this item in the near future.
"If you look at the blockade, they removed the oil during the validity period of the memorandum of understanding with the US. This marine oil is almost gone. At this moment they will have no profits," said the head of American diplomacy at a press conference in Paris.
Rubio recalled that Washington's sanctions against Tehran were in effect in the past. At the same time, Iran has always had the opportunity to supply energy resources to the world market, he stressed.
The US Secretary of State also said that oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz by Iran's neighboring countries has almost returned to pre-war levels.
