Trump Says Iran Has Around Three Days Before Oil Pipelines Could Explode -- WSJ

Dow Jones01:11

By Yoko Kubota

President Trump said Iran has about three days before its oil pipelines risk explosion from being clogged up, as the country grapples with a shortage of storage space for the oil it produces.

Shipments from Iranian ports have been halted during the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. That means Iran has to store its oil, but the country's storage capacity is limited.

Once the pipelines explode, "you can never rebuild it the way it was," Trump said Sunday on Fox News. "They are under pressure."

Asked whether Beijing was helping Iran, Trump said he believed China's assistance has been limited. "I think China could have been much worse than they've been," he said. "I'm not overly disappointed."

Earlier this month, Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on China if Beijing were found to be supplying Iran militarily. Economically, China has provided Tehran with a financial lifeline for years by buying most of its oil.
