Iranian oil hit with Trump sanctions, increasing pressure on Islamic Republic to make nuclear weapon deal

On Thursday, the Trump administration targeted Iranian oil through a new list of sanctions – a step that increases pressure on the Islamic Republic amid talks between us and Iranian officials to conclude an agreement to prevent nuclear spread.

The Office of the Treasury of Foreign Assets increased the pressure on Iran’s export of oil on Thursday, a number of “Tea Rog” Company Xinhai Chemical Group, Ltd., and three terminal ports in Shandong Province, China, for its role in buying or delivering hundreds of areas of dollars from Iring.

The refineries of the “tea jug” refineries buy the majority of Iranian crude oil exports, according to the Ministry of Treasury.

On Thursday, the Treasury Ministry imposes sanctions on many companies, ships and hidge that they say are responsible for facilitating Iranian oil shipments as part of the so -called “shadow fleet” in Iran. Companies and ships are all based in China.

“As part of president Trump’s broad and aggressive campaign, the treasury today targets another refinery of the tea jug that imports Iranian oil,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen. “The United States is still determined to intensify pressure on all elements of the Iranian oil supply chain to prevent the regime from achieving revenues to strengthen its destabilizing agenda.”

The sanctions come after President Donald Trump’s executive order, which targets the Iranian oil and petrochemical sectors – in addition to another executive order targeting those who support the Iranian national oil company.

On Thursday, penalties are the latest tour targeting Iranian oil sales since the President issued, in early February, a national security note that set a “maximum economic pressure on Iran” campaign.

As for the Iranian “Shadow Fleet”, Tehran depends on mysterious ship management companies to manage its fleet of tankers that “mask” Iranian oil shipments to China using ships to ships with attached ships.

On Thursday, the Treasury took measures to increase pressure on the “shadow fleet” from actors by appointing ships as a “prohibited property”.

The Treasury said that any violation of US sanctions may lead to the imposition of civil or criminal sanctions on the United States or foreign people.

The imposition of sanctions comes at a time when the United States and Iran are preparing for the fourth round of nuclear talks. US and Iranian officials are scheduled to take place in the next round of talks in Amman in the coming days.

The Vice President JD Vance recently inspected the next round of the talks, saying on Wednesday that the United States is negotiating for a “complete endowment” of the Tehran nuclear program.

The Trump administration said that the joint action plan between the Obama era in 2015 (JCPOA), also known as the Iranian nuclear FEAL, did not prevent Iran from building a atomic bomb, with the addition of Vans that the agreement was “incredibly weak” with regard to inspections.

Vans said he did not believe that he “actually served the function of preventing the Iranians from accessing nuclear weapons.”

Vans also said that the Trump administration believes that there are some elements of the Iranian nuclear program that was “preserved” in fact under JCPOA.

“Yes, there were no nuclear weapons. Iran does not have a nuclear weapon,”

“We believe that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran into the global economy,” Vans said before the talks. “It will be really good for the Iranian people, but it will lead to a complete stop of any opportunity that they can get a nuclear weapon. This is what we negotiate. As the president said, this is the option A.”

If the A option is “very good for the Iranian people, then the B option” B “is very bad. ”

“It is very bad for everyone,” Vans said. “This is not what we want, but it is better than the C option, and it is getting a nuclear weapon. This is completely outside the table for the American administration.

As for Trump, he said during an interview with him recently on “Meet The Press” for NBC that he would only accept “complete dismantling” the Iranian nuclear program.
