Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, in response to the statements made by the U.S. Treasury Secretary, rejected any claims of explosions in Iran's oil wells over the past three days, stating that Tehran is willing to publish the status of its oil wells with live cameras for the next 30 days. These remarks were in reaction to Scott Basset's comments made yesterday, who stated that with the continued maritime blockade of Iran's ports, the country's oil reservoirs would overflow and damage the oil transfer lines. Meanwhile, in Iran, with the dollar price surging above 180,000 tomans and the continuation of unprecedented inflation of essential goods, the provision of public necessities has become the main concern for people amid a situation of neither war nor peace.
