Exaggerations that have a message of weakness and incapacity
As if according to "Ned Price" the United States has not succeeded in stopping even one of its biggest trading partners, the People's Republic of China, from oil and trade cooperation with Iran, despite using all its tools to make the policy of maximum pressure against Iran effective, the continuation of these actions show the lack of political tact and strategic intelligence in the White House.
Exaggerations that have a message of weakness and incapacity
As if according to "Ned Price" the United States has not succeeded in stopping even one of its biggest trading partners, the People's Republic of China, from oil and trade cooperation with Iran, despite using all its tools to make the policy of maximum pressure against Iran effective, the continuation of these actions show the lack of political tact and strategic intelligence in the White House.
NOURNEWS - "Ned Price", the spokesperson of the US Department of State, announced Tuesday, 24th January: "China is Iran's biggest oil customer and we are focusing on this country to warn them from doing business with Iran."
He added: "We continue to monitor Iran's oil exports and engage with Iran's business partners regarding the possibility of being exposed to US sanctions."
The spokesperson of the US State Department added: We have been clear about the implementation of sanctions against Iran by countries around the world so that we can maintain the pressure on Iran.
The statements of this senior American official have the following important points, which attention can provide a clear assessment of America's positions towards Iran and determine the extent of Washington's real capability in applying the policy of maximum pressure.
First; There has been no change in the sanctions policies known as the maximum pressure that was started and applied during the Trump presidency with the aim of the economic and social collapse of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and according to Ned Price, the United States is clearly pursuing the implementation of this policy.
Second; Iran has been able to circumvent the sanctions, especially regarding its most important sector, which is the sale of oil, and according to the spokesperson of the US State Department, China is the largest customer of Iranian oil.
Third; This incident happened while the United States, contrary to the claims of some foreign and domestic experts, has always continued its monitoring for the strict implementation of sanctions and has continuously threatened different countries about the consequences of not adhering to the sanctions.
Fourth; The economic conditions of Iran also show the fact that despite all the pressures of America and the West in the political, economic, security and media dimensions that continue with all intensity, not only the goal of America, which was economic and political collapse in Iran, has not been achieved, but also the plans of Important economic measures such as the removal of preferential currency from Iran's commercial system, which is considered an important surgery in Iran's economy, have also been implemented in these days.
Fifth; If, according to the statement of the spokesperson of the US Department of State, the ruling body of this country, despite the continuation of the strategy of maximum pressure, increasing the strict monitoring of the implementation of sanctions, going to the stage of threatening countries with the punishment of non-compliance with the sanctions and dozens of other political, security and psychological measures that he did not name them, they did not even manage to stop one of their biggest trading partners, the People's Republic of China, from oil and trade cooperation with Iran, so the continuation of these actions show the lack of political tact and strategic intelligence in the White House.
It seems that the stubborn and arrogant rulers of America are still not aware of the profound changes that have taken place in the international system and the practical result of which is the end of the era of unilateralism, and they prefer to insist on the realization of dreams that they cannot fulfill by continuing costly and ineffective policies. Also the realities governing international relations and new power equations have also made it impossible to achieve these dreams.
