American sanctions on the third Chinese refinery, especially due to Iranian oil
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump has imposed restrictions on a special China oil refining plant and Manan operating companies in China due to the purchase of Iran’s oil, the Reuters News Agency said.
The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on the refinery of the “Khubi Shinhai Chemical Company”, and to maintain a station at the Dong Ying Port in the Chinese Shandong area. These companies have bought or facilitated the distribution of Iranian oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the ministry said.
It is the third independent Chinese refinery targeting the Trump administration after re -imposing a “maximum pressure” system, which is expected to lose oil exports and to curb its nuclear program and finance an agreement to finance the armed groups in the Middle East.
“The United States has decided to exacerbate the pressure on all aspects of the Iranian oil supply chain, to prevent its revenue to strengthen its volatile agenda.”
The latest round of negotiations between Iran and the United States are likely to take place in the Omani capital next week.
Information sources said that the previous sanctions for two small Chinese refining companies to buy Iranian oil would cause difficulties in obtaining oil, which has stopped selling crude oil and selling production under other names.
These sanctions have begun to curb the largest independent China refinement refinement from the purchase of Iran’s crude oil, three sources said.
«Xinhai WAS is located in the coastal city of Sangzou, and is one of the largest independent refineries in China outside the Independent Refining Company in the Shandong Province. Its refiner has a capacity of 120 thousand barrels per day, with a bitumen factory with an annual capacity of 5 million tonnes, and the share of raw imports is 74,000 barrels per day, and the same size for the same size.
“The United States is misusing arbitrary arbitrary sanctions and China always strongly opposes the practice of the law of law outside the regional boundaries,” said Liu Bingio, a Chinese embassy in Washington.
“The United States should intervene between China and Iran and naturally stop financial and commercial cooperation,” he said.
Companies imposed by the Ministry of Treasury Sanctions “Bogong Company Limited Logistics and Storage Services”, “Shandong Jingung Port Company Limited.” And “Shandong Bogong International Port Company Limited”.
Companies run at the Dong Ying Port have received a million barrels Iranian oil from shadow Fleet tankers, the US Treasury said.
The Ministry of Foreign Assets Control Office has imposed restrictions on several companies, ships and ship leaders, who said that Iran’s oil goods were manufactured by Iran’s “Shadow Fleet”.
Sanctions freeze the assets of the list listed in the United States and prevent Americans from dealing with them.
“Star Twinkel Limited Shipping Company”, “Hong Kong Prime Prime Company”, “Emperis Cue, Limited.”, “Nislines Incorptrest”, “Procous Forever Limited Trade” and “Skadi Limited”. The tankers were classified as “Star Twinkel 6”, “LMMD”, “Sadi”, “Impalas”, “Big Mag” and “Thin” banned property.
An analyst says the latest American sanctions are steadily.
“Today’s sanctions are pressure on Chinese importers, but this is not a turning point for Iranian exports,” said Fernando Ferreera, director of geographical political risk service at Rabidan Energy Group. The Trump administration has stopped targeting Chinese state -owned companies.
“If Beijing refuses to limit imports, I think Washington will continue to intensify sanctions and target more sensitive organizations.”
