U.S. imposes sanctions on countries buying Iranian oil, according to Trump
Hear Ya! Here's the lowdown on the latest news:
Donald Trump's wheels are turning again, this time focusing on Iran. He's ratcheted up the pressure with a warning that any country or individual buying oil or petrochemical products from Iran will face secondary sanctions, preventing them from doing business with the good ol' USA.
This move comes after some talks on Iran's nuclear program got pushed back. Trump's been crankin' on what he calls a "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran since the get-go, trying to stomp out the Islamic Republic's oil exports altogether. He's allegedly accusing Iran of using oil sale revenues to fund militant groups across the Middle East.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry reckons the hold-up in negotiations with the USA is due to "logistical and technical reasons."
What's interesting is that famously, Donald Trump said back in the day that "we have good talks with Iran" during a series of indirect discussions between high-ranking representatives of both nations on Tehran's nuclear program.
