According to many Iranian media reports, on the 26th local time, the United States launched a new round of sanctions against Iran.
The sanctions are mainly aimed at Iran’s petrochemical sector. Many Iranian personnel and institutions, including the Minister of Petroleum, the National Oil Company, and the National Tanker Company, are included in the sanctions list by the United States.
According to the report, the reason for the sanctions is that "these entities and individuals provide financial support to the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Syrian government."
In response to the sanctions, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif stated on social media that the US National Security Advisor has just admitted that the United States has approved the decision to impose more pain on the Iranian people, and it is time for the United States to admit that it is a "sanction addict" Up.
The United States should abandon this habit.
Launching more economic wars against Iran will only make the United States less and less influential.
It is understood that this sanction is a new measure since the US Treasury Department announced on the 8th of this month that at least 18 major banks and financial institutions in Iran were included in the sanctions list.
Since the United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear agreement in May 2018, it has imposed "the strictest sanctions in history" on Iran. Since then, the United States has always declared that it will do its best to "zero out" Iranian oil exports.
The Iranian government and military warned several times that the United States must stop its unilateral and illegal sanctions against Iran, and that all the bad effects of sanctions will be borne by the United States.
