Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman Mohbi stated that the United States can no longer even guarantee its automotive fuel supply. The US once justified its military presence in the Middle East by citing the security of energy transport and freedom of navigation, but Iran has robbed it of this capability. After decades of military presence in the region, the US has still failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or even guarantee the passage of energy through a single shipping route. He stated that the US has historically used its economic advantage and the strength of the dollar as tools of pressure, but Iran's actions in this war have reversed the economic landscape. Now, the US cannot even guarantee its automotive fuel supply; its energy reserves have decreased from 415 million barrels to 263 million barrels, with 150 million barrels unavailable. The US also currently faces dependence on aluminum and semiconductor supplies.
