Be sure to tune in to the latest reality TV series “Sanctions Gone Wild!”
Watch as the U.S. government sanctions any country that dares not follow its supreme international edicts that sanction oil from Evil Empire countries.
Also tune in to see how the U.S. government fawns adoringly at OPEC dictatorships that have huge … tracts of oil. KSA being the Holy Grail of oil tracts.
=====================
The US has slapped new sanctions on Chinese firms related to Iran’s petrochemical and petroleum trade, after years of reports of Chinese tankers engaged in sanctions-busting activity, and at a moment that a finalized restored JCPOA nuclear deal has all but collapsed.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced punitive measures Thursday against two China-based companies, Zhonggu Storage and Transportation Co Ltd and WS Shipping Co Ltd, which stand accused of sanctions evasion.
The former has been identified as overseeing a commercial crude oil storage facility for Iranian products, and the latter operated a vessel which was caught ‘illegally’ transporting Iranian oil and fuel products.
These companies were said to be 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.”
● … The official position of China’s foreign ministry has long been that normal business dealings between China and Iran should be respected.
“China urges the US to lift the
*illegitimate unilateral sanctions*
as soon as possible,” the ministry has long repeated in various statements.”
