Iran on Friday condemned the US “illegal” and “blasphemous” new financial sanctions that target a network alleging that it sends millions of dollars worth of Iranian crude oil to China There are
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baqi said in a statement, “The decision of the new US government to put pressure on the Iranian nation to stop legal trade with its economic partners is an illegal, illegal and violating move. “”
Baqai added that the US move was “clearly blasphemous and against international law”.
The US Department of Treasury on Thursday announced financial sanctions against the international network that assist China with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crude oil shipments.
The Treasury wrote in a statement that the oil was sent by the General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces and Siphir Energy Jahan, an approved front company named Nama Pars.
These sanctions were banned by US President Donald Trump after restoring his “maximum pressure” policy against Iran under the allegations that are trying to prepare nuclear weapons.
Iran has criticized the restoration of this policy – as a Trump as president imposed against Tehran during his first term – saying that his pursuit will end in “failure”.
During Trump’s first term, under a strict policy of sanctions, which ended in 2021, Washington withdrew from a historic nuclear deal that banned Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions.
Tehran followed the deal – known as a Commonwealth Plan – a year after Washington exit, but then he began to overtake his promises.
Efforts to restore the 2015 deal have just deteriorated.
Trump called for a “certified nuclear peace deal” with Iran on Wednesday, adding that he could not have a “nuclear weapon”.
Iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and denies any intention of nuclear weapons development.
