The United States intends to enforce sanctions on Iran, leads TASS Statement by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.



The head of American diplomacy in this case had in mind the first package of anti-Iranian restrictions, which should be restored at the beginning of the week.

Answering a question from journalists about Tehran’s ability to evade a ban on financial operations and continue selling its oil, Pompeo noted that such a “focus” on Iran’s authorities would not succeed.

This is an important part of US efforts to combat Iran’s destructive activities,
he said.

According to the Secretary of State, only “colossal changes” in Iran’s behavior can lead to a weakening of the sanctions regime. Pompeo added that diplomats from the countries of the East Asian Summit, in which he also took part, supported the actions of Washington against Tehran.

Touching on Iran’s domestic policy, Pompeo expressed concern about the ongoing protests in the country. In his opinion, the Iranian people are not satisfied with the Americans, but with their own government. ”

The US is concerned about reports of violence by the Iranian authorities against the unarmed people and support the right of Iranians to protest against oppression and corruption, he said.

At the same time, the Secretary of State did not succumb to the provocative questions of journalists and diligently avoided a direct call for the overthrow of the current Iranian leadership.

      US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and then the US Secretary of State from the "party of war" in the US Congress, so that the war on Earth never ends anywhere - and in the name of American multinational companies and Jewish bankers-loan sharks of the US Federal Reserve in their struggle for their world domination.
      You don’t have to look at Pompeo through another political prism! Otherwise, it will be more expensive for yourself.

      Introducing sanctions against Iran, China, Russia, Turkey and against countries that wanted to spit on these sanctions, the United States will soon remain alone and will vote "against all" like Sobchak

    EU August 7 blocks US sanctions against Iran on its territory

    BRUSSELS, August 6th. / TASS /. The EU will activate a blocking regulation on August 7, which will protect European companies from US sanctions against Iran. This was announced on Monday at a briefing in Brussels by the official representative of the European Commission Mina Andreeva.

    "An updated EU blocking regulation will come into force tomorrow morning, which will protect European companies doing business with Iran from the action of US extraterritorial sanctions," she said.
    "As soon as the blocking status comes into force at 06:00 (07:00 Moscow time - approx. TASS), it will allow all European organizations to compensate for the damage from the implementation of the sanctions from the people who caused it. [It also] declares legally null and void (invalid) on the territory of the EU, any decisions of foreign courts in support of sanctions, "Andreeva added.
    “It also prohibits European structures from complying with these sanctions, unless it is subject to special permission from the European Commission. Such permits [to implement the sanctions] can be issued in exceptional cases if failure to comply with the sanctions could seriously harm the interests of European companies or the European Union in whole, "said the representative of the European Commission.
