Blinken: We are pursuing a meaningful diplomatic path to return to Burjam
Secretary of State Anthony Blinken issued a statement Thursday evening local time claiming that the Biden administration has been “honest and steadfast in pursuing a meaningful diplomatic path to a reciprocal return to full implementation of the UN Security Council.”
“If we do not reach an agreement, we will continue to use our sanctions powers to restrict the export of oil, petroleum products and petrochemicals,” he said. We will use Iran.
Regarding the new sanctions against Iran, he claimed that the United States had imposed sanctions on a network of Iranian petrochemical producers and coating companies in China, the UAE and Iran that support the Trilliance Petrochemical Company and the Iranian Petrochemical Trading Company.
He claimed that Iran-affiliated petrochemicals abroad help facilitate international transactions and circumvent sanctions, and support the sale of Iranian petrochemical products to customers in China and other parts of East Asia.
Joe Biden’s Democratic administration, which has repeatedly acknowledged the failure of US policies of maximum pressure on Iran, has imposed sanctions on Iran’s petrochemical industry in another new anti-Iranian move, despite chanting diplomacy slogans against Tehran.
The US Treasury Department issued a statement on Thursday, local time: The US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is a network of Iranian petrochemical producers, as well as cover companies in China and the UAE, including Trilliance Petrochemical Company and Iran Petrochemical Trading Company. Support, boycotted.
According to the US Treasury Department, these companies play an effective role in brokering the sale of Iranian petrochemical products abroad.
The US Treasury Department claimed that the network facilitates international trade and circumvention of Iranian sanctions, and supports the sale of Iranian petrochemical products to customers in China and other East Asian regions.
US Treasury Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson claimed that the United States is pursuing a meaningful diplomacy path to achieve a reciprocal return to adherence to the UN Security Council.
He added: “If no agreement is reached, we will continue to use our sanctions powers to restrict the export of Iranian oil, petroleum products and petrochemical products.” The United States will continue to expose the networks that Iran uses to evade sanctions.
Accordingly, two individuals and nine companies have been sanctioned for claiming to sell Iranian petrochemical products.
A State Department spokesman also claimed that despite new sanctions against Iran, Washington could return to the UN Security Council if Iran abandons issues outside the UN Security Council, and that a return to the agreement is in the national interest of the United States.
State Department spokesman Ned Price continued to drop the ball on Iran during a meeting with reporters on Thursday evening, local time, claiming that we still believe that if Iran puts aside issues outside the UN Security Council and is on the table for an agreement that has been on the table for some time. Focus on slow finalization capacity and the possibility of reciprocal return to adherence to BRICS.
The new US sanctions against Iran come as the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee convened a closed-door meeting with representatives of the Biden administration, including Robert Mali, the US special envoy to Iran, on Wednesday to draft a so-called plan for Iran. And know the Vienna talks, but the senators after the meeting acknowledged that the White House is empty-handed.
Several US senators in a previous public hearing on talks with Iran called for a closed-door meeting to learn about US Plan B, US media correspondent Joey Insider reported on the meeting.
“I do not think they (the Biden administration) have a plan B. They have not shown us anything about it,” the reporter was quoted as saying by Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
The eighth round of talks on lifting the sanctions, which began on December 26, last year, had entered a breathtaking phase on March 11, 2014, at the suggestion of the EU foreign policy chief, and the negotiators returned to their capitals for political consultations.
The Biden administration, which claims a diplomatic approach to Iran and an attempt to return to the UN Security Council, has so far not only failed to show goodwill, but has moved in the direction of the failed policies of maximum pressure from the Donald Trump administration. In line with the Zionist regime, the three European countries joined the anti-Iranian efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors against Iran.
