The US on Thursday announced new sanctions targeting Iran’s oil exports in the latest sign that a revival of the Iran nuclear deal is unlikely.
The State Department announced sanctions on two Chinese-based firms accused of trading Iranian oil, while the Treasury Department designated several entities based in Hong Kong, Iran, India, and the UAE.
The Treasury Department said that the targeted entities were “involved in the sale of hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Iranian petrochemicals and petroleum products to end users in South and East Asia.”
Iran has found some relief from US sanctions by stepping up oil sales to East Asia, and Washington has been looking to impede those deals. The sanctions are an example of how the Biden administration has escalated the so-called “maximum pressure campaign” against Iran that was started under President Trump.
Iran nuclear deal talks have stalled since the US rejected Iran’s latest response to the negotiations at the beginning of September. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has said he’s still open to negotiations but says he needs some sort of guarantee that the US won’t pull out of the deal again.
The ignorant bully strikes again. Death to amerika
Wishing “death to America” does not accomplish anything, it is just rhetoric and it is counter productive to peace and every other damn thing that might help us to progress…
Well tell that to the zionist entity that kills American citizens with impunity. Remember Rachel Corrie et Al.
Zionism pisses me off royally and I have spent most of my adult life working for peace. AS A PEACE ACTIVIST, I DO NOT wish anyone DEATH. !!!
Take a bit more care with your words and the meaning contained therein.
So, watch your bloody language…
Maybe you should tell your overlords in “government “ to watch their bloody language since its drowning in lies
You better look for the effing exit ramp dude!
POS activist
U.S.S. Liberty…………..
You are an agent provocateur…
I wonder if Zhonggu Storage and Transportation Co. Ltd even cares. I’m guessing it doesn’t sell to outsiders, and Iran certainly doesn’t care.
The US needs to get its collective ass together and produce something comprehensive, for Iran and for everyone who cares about peace and stability.
The world needs to sanction the US.. the bloodthirsty, sociopathic, schoolyard bully of the world.
If sanctions don’t work they can bomb their pipelines now that they have set a precedent.
How LOW can America sink?These NUTTERS in the US need to be sanctioned out of existence.
Well, h*ll yeah. We are stealing oil from Syria, have pirated Iranian oil on the high seas, so yeah. So it goes.
That is all US can do…! With Iran knowing how to revolve around them…!
Time to sanction the shoes and the underwears of the Iranain and Russians and those companies that make them to supply Iran and Russia.
Those garments can hide a lot of stuffs.
