The United States suspected China of transporting Iranian oil

5
Washington continues to build a world gendarme and hegemon. This is reflected in the ongoing attempts to influence others so that they finally stop buying oil from Tehran. For example, The Financial Times, citing unnamed sources, reports that the US administration is closely monitoring the movement of tankers, one way or another connected with the largest Chinese oil and gas corporation China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC).



According to the publication, the White House suspects that China continues to buy oil from Iran, despite US sanctions. At the same time, it is not specified why Beijing should generally adhere to these sanctions invented in Washington against Tehran.

It is noted that both the movement of the tankers themselves, using satellite constellation, and bank transfers are monitored. Three tankers connected with one of the largest banks in China, Kunlun (controlled by CNPC), have already been noticed in “unfair” transportation. The publication emphasizes that these tankers are the "bridge between Iran and China," and satellite images only confirm this.

It should be recalled that in March 2019, China daily bought 1,6 million barrels from Iran. oil (1 barrel - 159 liters). At the same time, it was recently reported from Washington that in June 2019, Beijing imported more than 1 million bar daily. Iranian oil. In July 2019, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the Chinese state-owned company Zhuhai Zhenrong and its leader for purchasing oil from Iran. Beijing expressed a strong protest, which so far has been limited to.

    If the Russian foreign policy leadership can add fuel to the fire, and the United States and China are seriously engaged, this will be a victory for our Foreign Ministry - on a global scale. But, as history shows, the Foreign Ministry always loses, even after the victory of the Russian Soldier.

      Putin is not Khrushchev, since the first day of his presidency he has been establishing close contacts and friendly relations with China in all areas. And rightly so, why should the two great neighboring powers quarrel for the West at the head of Washington. So, the Russian Foreign Ministry has nothing to do with it.
      It's all about the economy, hence the confrontation between the United States and China. In terms of purchasing power, China is already ahead of the United States. Here Washington is trying to restrain its development, including dishonest and illegal methods.

    - Ha, but what is there to "suspect" ... - as it went - and drove ...
    - It’s even a no brainer (some "especially gifted sites" do not count) what goals China is pursuing ...

    - But what are the goals pursued by Russia, supporting Iran and China ... - here one can only assume a manic, voluntary, political and economic state "self-harm" ...
    - And to understand this ... it is simply impossible ...

    - Yes, unfortunately, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs acts in such a way that one might think ... - as if this is not our Foreign Ministry at all ...
    - It’s also brought up from Tsar Gorokh in Russia ... - The most favorable situation for Russia is that our Ministry of Foreign Affairs manages to turn it upside down in such a way that you are simply amazed ...
    - Something else came out of the Foreign Ministry under Gromyko, when there was the USSR (we will not touch the tsarist times), but how did all sorts of "Shevardnadze", "trump card" and so on ... just terrible times came for Russia .. - I will keep silent about today's times ...

      Do not suffer, do not keep in yourself. Tell us what the Foreign Ministry has done so terribly and it will become easier for you, and we will laugh.

    If Washington officially declared China its adversary, then why should Beijing comply with the gag of the US leadership? Moreover, Iran faithfully implemented the international agreement, from which the United States withdrew unilaterally.
