US tightens sanctions against Iran

33
The United States significantly tightens sanctions against Iran amid accusations of an attack on Saudi oil refineries. The corresponding statement was made by US President Donald Trump.

US tightens sanctions against Iran




According to the American president, he instructed the US Treasury to significantly tighten sanctions against Iran. At the same time, Trump did not give any details.

I just instructed the Minister of Finance to significantly tighten sanctions against Iran

- he wrote in Twitter.

It should be noted that in recent days the situation in the Persian Gulf has escalated significantly. This was due to the attack drones and missiles at oil refineries in Saudi Arabia, which the US directly blamed on Iran. In turn, Tehran denied any involvement in the strikes and called Washington's statement a lie, accusing the United States of escalating the conflict.

Earlier, trump announced the bringing of the American contingent in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East in full combat readiness.

Commenting on the situation, Oleg Morozov, a member of the international committee of the Federation Council, said that the United States was looking for a reason for fighting against Iran against the background of an attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.

The US wants a real cause for military action. They will present this as a "cup of patience overflow" in connection with the attack on the Saudi refineries. The threat of war in the Iraqi scenario is real

- he said.

    US provocation -> Yankees impose sanctions -> Iran develops nuclear weapons and builds up weapons -> Yankees impose sanctions again -> And now you can attack, because the Iranians are bad.

    The classic scheme.

          You can scold or praise Trump as much as you like from our side, but be that as it may, he is a patriot of his country and is chosen by its people, he has all the assets and children in the United States, unlike our courtiers. He may be a skilled businessman and at the same time a tyrant, but he really wants to make America "great" and is making every effort to do so. And how he does it will be judged by the Americans in the upcoming elections. And I must say that they really have an ELECTION, unlike our COMEDY.

                  Are you off, sick?
                  Where did you get so crushed?

                  In the elections, people recognize power over themselves, casting their votes in favor of a ruler.
                  Choose power over yourself.

                  Have you ever thought about this?

                  And where do you live, Milos, that you have a solid comedy. Judging by the name you are from the EU.
                  If you recall Macron or Tsipras, then you are certainly right - this is a comedy.
                  Zelensky is still knocking on you. He has already turned a comedy into a circus.
                  But all these are your internal affairs.

                  Neither Russia nor the bolder to Iran, your resentment has no relation whatsoever.

            A comedy is when candidates who are obviously impassable submit knowingly false signatures, so that after they are removed from the elections, they can say that there is no "democracy".

          The agricultural sector has received support and at least some market opportunities. Previously, he did not even have a chance.
          In addition, having lost cheap money from Western loans, the financial system of the Russian Federation shifted to the Asian financial market.
          Import substitution, although it goes on crooked, staggering legs, but it does. And this is the stimulation of our knowledge-based industries.
          And personal sanctions against some officials are just a miracle, for which the Americans need to bow down. So your next "all gone" is not the topic

    Iran is not a country that can be broken by sanctions. They act according to their usual scheme, it is not possible to take the country at random, they begin to put pressure on the sick man, in the form of sanctions.

    US tightens sanctions against Iran
    As they were, 100 years ago, as diving men, they remained, natural stupidity. And prezik not to help them. Commers too, but sees no prospects. They do not understand that sanctions create temporary difficulties, and then lead to development and independence, in the sense of self-sufficiency.

    It doesn't matter, because the whole world is distancing itself from the United States. For example, the same Europe has launched an analogue of SWIFT for trade with Iran. That is, it should be read like this: "America blocks its trade with Iran"

    Given that the openings on the domes are located on the north-west side, and Israel in the north-east, Monster and Constantinople did not drill these holes correctly ... according to the wrong xREN.TV card.
    In your link to Constantinople, in which a link to a photo from outer space is embarrassing for you and Constantinople: this is a snapshot of American intelligence and a hole there from the north-west side!
    On Monday, a number of US officials spoke on condition of anonymity with reporters from the New York Times, ABC and Reuters.
    According to them, it was established that 19 attacks from the western and north-western directions were delivered on targets in Saudi Arabia. Husite-controlled territory of Yemen is located in the southwest.
    In evidence, the United States presented enlarged images of oil storage facilities with damage on the west side. https://news.tut.by/world/653732.html
    The Al-Arabia portal noted: “The scale and accuracy of UAV attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia show that they were launched from the western and north-western directions, and not from Yemen ...
    It remains to figure out which of the three is smarter: hren.tvru., Constantinople or Monster.

      In this situation, I wonder why the Hussites take responsibility for what they did not commit. Agreed chtoli? You are cool fighters with the Saudi regime, you have a plus on the bill, and we are with you, but no one should know about this. I twist twist I want to confuse ...

    Options: 1. Paid. 2. Ordered. 3. They made fake messages on behalf of the Hussites anyone. 4. Really hit, the Hussites. 5. Not the Hussites, but anyone. 6. According to US intelligence, these data suggest that drones were launched from the northern part of the Persian Gulf, from Iran or Iraq.
    Also sources in the New York Times in the United States said that in addition to drones, cruise missiles may have been involved in the attack, but not all of them reached the target.
