On April 13, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to block Iranian oil sales due to Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz. According to BlockBeats, Trump stated that the world relies on the United States for oil, and measures will be implemented at 10 p.m. UTC+8 to prevent Iran from selling oil. Other countries are cooperating to ensure the effectiveness of these measures.

Trump highlighted that numerous ships are arriving in the U.S. to refuel and transport oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting a resolution to the issue. He emphasized that the world depends on the U.S. for oil, and due to the "Drill, Baby, Drill" campaign, the U.S. has increased its oil reserves, surpassing the combined reserves of Russia and Saudi Arabia. Ships are now refueling in the U.S., avoiding the need to traverse the Strait of Hormuz.
