Biden reiterated Trump’s statement on reducing oil purchases from Iran

According to Fars News Agency’s International Service, US President Joe Biden, in a statement to the US Secretary of State, Treasury and Energy, stated that the supply of oil and oil products from countries other than Iran is enough to buy oil and oil products from Iran. Decreased noticeably.

“In accordance with the powers conferred upon me by the Constitution and U.S. law as President, I have carefully reviewed the reports submitted to Congress by the Energy Information Administration, including the April 2022 report and other relevant factors such as the state of the economy,” the statement said. The world, the increase in oil supply by some countries, the level of excess oil production capacity and the availability of US strategic reserves, in accordance with paragraph 1245 (d) (4) (b) and (c) of the Fiscal 2012 Fiscal Authority Act, I declare in line with my previous decisions The supply of oil and petroleum products from countries other than Iran is such that the volume of purchases of oil and petroleum products from Iran by or through foreign financial institutions can be significantly reduced. I will continue to monitor the situation in this regard. “The Secretary of State is authorized to publish the decision in the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and will be instructed to do so.”

This statement is noteworthy in that it shows the Biden administration’s compliance with the Trump administration and his administration’s non-compliance with the BJP. The Biden White House statement, in addition to changing April 2022, is a repetition of the statements made by Trump in this regard.

In Article 21 of the Borjam Agreement, the US government was required to prevent attempts to reduce Iranian oil sales, “including restrictions on the sale of Iranian crude oil and countries that can buy Iranian crude oil,” and to impose sanctions on “purchase, education, sale.” “Stop transporting or marketing oil, petrochemical products and natural gas from Iran.”

Like Trump, Biden did not mention these US commitments in the new communiqué. Former US President Barack Obama, in all his statements issued after the implementation of the Geneva Interim Accord and the Burjam Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, stated that his administration has complied with its commitments to Burjam. Does not seek to reduce Iranian oil sales.

For example, a document issued by Obama on November 14, 2016 states: “Nevertheless, the United States no longer pursues a policy of attempting to reduce Iran’s crude oil sales in accordance with its obligations under the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (CJAP). The United States has acted to meet these commitments since the day it was implemented. “On this day, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran has taken steps related to the nuclear weapons identified in the IAEA Board to ensure that its nuclear program is peaceful and remains peaceful.”

Biden’s statement was issued Friday, and earlier US government documents issued a law requiring presidents to report on the supply of crude oil to producers other than Iran.

Section 1245 of the FY 2012 defense budget bill calls on the US government to submit a report on the possibility of reducing the purchase of these products from Iran, based on assessments of the supply of oil and oil products.
