Al Jazira said that the United States has issued a new wave of sanctions against Iranian oil exports, the first punishment against Tehran’s energy sector, as the Washington -backed ceasefire came into effect last month between Israel and Iran.
Iraqi businessman Salim Ahmed, targeted by the sanctions declared on Thursday, said and his United Arab Emirates-based company, which the US, combined it with Iraqi oil and accused it of smuggling Iranian oil.
American Treasury Secretary Scott Besent said in a statement, “Iran’s behavior has left it. While it has every opportunity to choose peace, its leaders have chosen extremism.”
“Treasury will continue to target Tehran’s revenue sources and accelerate economic pressure to disrupt the reach of the government to financial resources that promotes its unstable activities.”
After reaching the ceasefire on 24 June, US President Donald Trump said that China could buy Iranian oil, suggesting that the US could lift its restrictions on Tehran’s energy exports.
But the promise was short -lived. Trump wrote in a social media post last week that he “immediately left all work on the approval relief” in response to the statements of Irani supreme leader Ali Khamenei “claimed victory over Israel.
The US President also said that he stopped Israel from killing Khmeni, protecting him from “very ugly and ignorant death”.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katj had said that Israel had demanded killing Khameni, but there was no “no operating opportunity” for murder.
Israel started an airstrikes against Iran on June 13 without direct provocation, killing hundreds of Iranians, including civilians and top military officers.
The US joined the Israeli campaign and attacked three Iranian nuclear sites. Iran responded with a missile strike against Israel and an airbase housing US troops in Qatar.
Trump claimed that the US air raid “Iran’s nuclear features” slant “.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon said the US bombing operation put Iran’s nuclear program behind one to two years.
But it is not clear where Iran’s stockpiles of highly rich uranium are.
On the agency’s failure to condemn the US and Israeli attacks, the country passed a law last month to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAA).
The move has reprimanded the US and many European countries.
Al Jazira said that on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Exmieel Bagei suggested that Iran is in indirect contact with the US – to find a diplomatic solution for the crisis, through Oman and Qatar, to find a diplomatic solution for the crisis.
“Diplomacy should not be misused or used as a tool for deception or simply for a type of psychological war against their opponents,” Baghei told Sky News.
He said that Tehran feels that its diplomatic efforts have been “betrayed”.
Last month, Israel reiterated an American commitment to diplomacy.
And before the US attacks, he said that he would decide to join the war within two weeks to allow talks between Iran and European powers, Al Jazira said. (AI)
