“The US government lawsuit sanctioning a group of individuals and corporations accusing them of being involved in the sale of crude oil is completely unfair and contrary to international rules.
“The new US administration’s decision to put pressure on Iranian people by preventing legitimate trade with Iranian economic partners is in illegal, illegal and breaching lawsuits that pose international liability to the US government. There is,” an Iranian spokesperson said.
On Thursday, the US Treasury Department added individuals and businesses from various parts of the world, including China, India and the United Arab Emirates, to its list of sanctions, accusing them of being involved in Iran’s oil exports.
The move comes from the continued Trump’s maximum pressure campaign against Tehran, allegedly reasserted by the White House.
Iran says it claims Trump allegedly re-entered it because Trump’s campaign was being carried out during the previous Biden administration.
