The Trump administration is imposing economic sanctions on a major China-based oil refinery, along with around 40 shipping companies and tankers involved in the transport of Iranian oil.
The move makes good on the Trump administration’s threat to impose secondary sanctions on companies and countries that do business with Iran. It’s also part of a ramped-up campaign to cut off Iran’s key source of revenue – its oil exports, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
