The US government seized nearly 1 million barrels of Iranian crude oil allegedly bound for China, according to newly unsealed court documents and a statement released by the Department of Justice on Friday.
It is about power and control. We are uaing sanctions on Iran and many officials in Iran as leverage for the nuclear deal as well as other human rights violations. And this company fucked up real bad, otherwise we would have let them do it. So much oil gets sold in Iran, blended in Malaysia, and sold to China at a reduced price for accepting the contraband oil.
US sanctions on Iran are resulting in harm to the country’s environment and preventing everyone there - including migrants and Afghan refugees - from fully enjoying their rights to health and life, and contributing to other factors such as rising air pollution
This article is compelling, and I’m a bit torn. I didn’t realize Iran has had these sanctions since 1979. I should know that, I paid attention in hiatory class. When the sanctions are framed on a shorter time scale, the JCPOA in 2018 and sanctioning of officials in 2022… those make more sense. But this 40+ year long policy was not a good choice. I imagine the Iranian people will just suffer for the rest of my lifetime unless we shift methods.

The sanctions are exacerbating the human rights issues. It’s in the article. From the United Nations.
