Chinese and Emirati companies, along with a network of Iranian petrochemical producers, have been hit by secondary US penalties for helping Tehran to “evade sanctions” by supporting the sale of its petrochemical products in international markets.
The sanctions were introduced against two companies based in Hong Kong, three in Iran, and four in the United Arab Emirates, according to a statement released by the US Department of the Treasury on Thursday.
All interests in property of the firms falling under US jurisdiction have been blocked and those who deal with them may also be sanctioned or penalized under some circumstances.
The penalties were also imposed on Chinese citizen Jinfeng Gao and Indian national Mohammed Shaheed Ruknooddin Bhore.
“The United States is pursuing the path of meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action,” Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E Nelson said, referring to the Iran nuclear deal.
“Absent a deal, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to limit exports of petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products from Iran,” he added.
If I were China right now, I would probably be provoking the US into sanctioning me. It’s great for your economy to get brutally sanctioned by the US, apparently, and then there would be no reason not to take Taiwan, which would officially collapse the United States Empire.
But China isn’t in a rush.
