A police officer introduces sanctions to the whole world: America threatens Russia, China and Europe with sanctions to buy Iranian oil

The United States has threatened to impose sanctions on Russia and every European country that continues to buy oil from Iran despite America's stance, US Finance Minister Steven Mnuchin said at a US Congressional debate Thursday

Lawmakers asked the finance minister whether he believes China, "with which the United States is in a commercial war," would accept the US request. They recalled that Beijing is the largest importer of Iranian oil. "I repeat, we will introduce sanctions to everyone, China, Russia, Europe and others," Mnuchin replied. "Empty story" Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rohani said that the US does not think about the consequences of its drive to disrupt Iran's oil exports.

He said the words of the American clerks about the desire to call Iran a zero-price Iranian export to an empty story that will never be realized. The Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution expressed the readiness to close the Croatian passage for oil transportation to other countries. "If the export of Iranian oil is hampered, we will not allow oil to be exported to other countries through the Hormushka Pass", Ismail Kousari, Deputy Mayor of the Corps, said that around 20 percent of the world's "black gold" passes through this strait.

On May 8, US President Donald Tramp announced that Washington had come forward with an agreement with Iran on a nuclear program and announced that all sanctions would be restored to that country, and that all countries operating with Tehran would introduce so-called secondary sanctions. Other members of the "six" international negotiators (Russia, China, Germany, France and the United Kingdom) oppose this move by the United States and intend to continue to respect the terms of the Iranian nuclear agreement.
