President Trump has threatened sanctions on countries that are purchasing from Iran.
“ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions,” Trump said Thursday in a post online.
“They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form.”
It’s unclear how Trump would implement the ban, but his alert is a threat that could escalate tensions with China, who is Iran’s top customer, during an already unstable time due to Trump’s tariffs, the Associated Press reported.
The warning came after planned talks about Iran’s nuclear program were postponed.
The discussion was set for this coming weekend, but Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said it was delayed for “logistical reasons.” New dates have not yet been mutually agreed to, he said.
The talks were intended to constrict Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the U.S. lifting some economic sanctions. The U.S. imposed new sanctions on Iran in early April.
Trump expressed confidence ahead of the third round of talks with Iran, but it was unclear if the two countries could find common ground about eliminating or scaling back Iran’s nuclear program.
It was also unclear if the Trump administration would try to strike a deal that resembles the Obama-era nuclear agreement that restricted Iran’s ability to create a nuclear weapon but allowed the infrastructure to remain intact.
