US raw imagination to cut off Iranian oil exports
A US State Department spokesman claims Washington plans to stop export of Iranian oil by pursuing a failed “maximum pressure” policy.
US State Department spokesman Temi Bruce said US President Donald Trump’s government plans to deprive Iran of oil exports.
At a Friday evening News conference, Bruce cited new US sanctions against the individual, institutions and ships that claim to be transferred to Iran’s oil; The sanctions imposed on Thursday.
He claimed that the refinery in China has “bought millions of barrels of Iranian oil” and that the institutions and ships on the list were also sanctioned for “transferring millions of barrels of Iranian oil to China”.
“Iran’s behavior around the world threatens US national security interests,” the US State Department official said. President Trump has revived the maximum pressure campaign to end Iran’s nuclear threat, limiting its missile program and stopping support for terrorist groups. “
Bruce also claimed: “The purpose of the campaign is to maximize Iran’s oil exports cut, which is used to finance Iran’s destabilizing activities.”
Meanwhile, in response to new US sanctions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said Beijing calls on Washington to stop interfere in trade and economic cooperation between China and Iran.
US officials’ insistence on pursuing a so -called maximum pressure policy is being implemented when Washington’s confession has failed in the first period of Trump’s presence at the White House.
