The United States unilaterally withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement and continued to impose sanctions on Iran. It is expected to directly curb Tehran’s oil exports on November 4. The US government recently said that the Trump administration is considering the cost of investment and is actively considering abandoning the oil sanctions strategy. .
After talking about a few months to impose an oil ban on Iran, it is suddenly said that the United States may give up such sanctions against Iran. What is behind this? Will Trump really give up?
First of all, it is impossible for the United States to impose an oil ban on Iran. No matter whether it is China, India or Russia, the EU will not easily comply. Is the United States really sanctioning? This matter is debatable in itself. However, Trump shouted for a few months, let him give up his ideas, this is also very difficult, so Zhanhao is skeptical about the authenticity of this news.
The US is likely to take measures that do not easily impose sanctions on countries that purchase Iranian oil, but impose sanctions on companies that purchase Iranian oil. Imagine that India, as the second largest customer of Iranian oil, is scheduled to purchase 900,000 barrels of oil from Iran in November. Is it necessary for the United States to impose severe sanctions on India? Wouldn't it be necessary to push India completely into the arms of China and Russia? Therefore, the probability that the United States generally does this is not high, but the US measures will force those not very strong allies or those small countries to give up buying Iranian oil. At the same time, the United States may impose sanctions on companies importing Iranian oil from relevant countries. This possibility is completely present.
