US new struggle for disruption to Iranian oil sales
The US News Agency is investigating a plan to disrupt Iranian oil sales.
According to RCO News Agency, sources say US President Donald Trump is considering a plan to stop and inspect Iranian tankers at sea, and the move will be under the so -called “international” agreement.
Trump has promised to re -establish a failed policy of “maximizing pressure” to isolate Iran from the global economy and bring oil to zero; A struggle for Washington so far.
In the first weeks of his second presidency, Trump imposed two new rounds of sanctions against Iran. These sanctions have targeted old companies and fleets that operate without Western insurance and carry oil sanctions.
These movements are largely similar to the measures taken during the former US President Joe Biden, but Iran was able to increase its oil export through its capabilities and active export networks.
Since past experience has proven that these kinds of rocks do not go anywhere, the current US government is seeking an international sphere to have a convenience.
The informed source, who did not want to be named, told Reuters on Thursday that Trump administration officials are now looking for ways to stop and inspect Iranian oil ships at key crossings such as the Malaka Strait in Asia and other sea routes.
According to informed sources that spoke to Reuters, the move will delay the delivery of crude oil to the refineries, and also expose the parties involved in the trade to new credit and sanctions.
The Trump administration is investigating whether these inspections can be carried out under the so -called “dissemination security initiative” that was created in 2008 to counter the smuggling of weapons of mass destruction. The plan has been led by the US and has signed more than five governments.
According to one source, Washington hopes that using this mechanism will be able to allow foreign governments to target Iran’s oil cargoes at the request of the United States, resulting in “delay in delivery” and “damaging the supply chain” in Tehran.
According to two sources, the US National Security Council, which guides the White House policies, is investigating the possibility of maritime inspections. However, it is unclear whether Washington has so far contacted the signatories of the project to check their cooperation with the plan.
The White House National Security Council did not respond to requests for comment.
US provocative measures are taken in a situation where previous efforts to seize Iran’s oil shipments have been met. The United States seized at least two cargoes of Iranian oil in the year of Biden, which led Iran to seize foreign ships, including a ship owned by the Chevron Company that raised crude oil prices.
Energy analyst Ben Kiehl at the Energy Center and Environmental Systems at the University of Texas acknowledges that the longer the sanctions are, with Iran’s capabilities and buyers find ways to bypass them, their effectiveness is less effective.
