America has sanctioned 6 companies and 20 ships related to Iran

According to the report of the Fars News Agency International Group, the US Treasury Department has announced the imposition of new sanctions on Iran today. The names of 6 companies based in Iran, UAE, China and Vietnam can be seen in the list posted on the website of the US Treasury.

In addition, the US Treasury has announced that 20 ships have been sanctioned in this connection. The companies included in this list are:

Bushehr Petrochemical Company
GLOBAL MARINE SHIP MANAGEMENT CO., LTD (based in China)
GOLDEN LOTUS OIL GAS AND REAL ESTATE JOINT STOCK COMPANY (based in Vietnam)
SHANGHAI XUANRUN SHIPPING COMPANY (based in China)
Shiraz Petrochemical Company
🔹 SWEDISH MANAGEMENT CO SA (located in the United Arab Emirates)

The embargoed ships belong to the above companies.

The US Treasury announced that these sanctions were imposed under Executive Order 13846. This executive order was issued in 2018 by “Donald Trump”, the former president of the United States, to restore sanctions on the oil, banking and transportation sectors after the withdrawal of the United States from the JCPOA.

Sanctions against Iran

In line with its hostile goals against the Islamic Republic of Iran and advancing the economic war against this country, the US government has imposed sanctions under various pretexts. Washington requires US companies and companies based in third countries to comply with these sanctions.

The “Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence” of the Ministry of Treasury or “FTI”, which was established in 2004 as one of the institutions of the US Treasury Department, is considered the center of designing this country’s economic war against countries that oppose Washington’s macro policies.

The “Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Office” declares its alleged mission as “Implementing the strategies of the US government to fight the financing of terrorism at the domestic and international level, developing and implementing national strategies regarding the fight against money laundering networks and the financing of terrorism.”

This office consists of four sub-categories: 1- Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), 2- Assistant Minister for Intelligence and Analysis, 3- Assistant Minister for Terrorist Financing and 4- Network for implementing laws related to financial crimes.

“Economic War Silent Room”

One of the most important goals and axes of the activity of the “Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Office” is to lead the economic war against Iran, to attack the resistance groups and to turn the American financial system into a lever of pressure against the economy of countries that are not aligned with this country.

In a 2010 report, CNN described the Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence as a “silent war room” against Iran and wrote about it: “They are actually responsible for crippling Iran’s economy.” “CNN” writes that the activities of this office are usually carried out without fuss and controversy, but they are effective.
