It was not clear how Trump would do a ban that threatened to select secondary sanctions against nations that import Iranian oil. His statement, however, risked further escalation of tension with China – Head of Iran – at a time when the relationship is seriously tense through the tariffs of the US President.
On the basis of data on tankers’ tracking, the US Energy Information In the Report Last October, it concluded that “China took nearly 90% of Iranian oil and condensate exports in 2023. Trump separately placed 145% of tariffs on China as a way to increase federal income and re -balance global trade.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to release air strikes focused on the Iranian program unless there is an agreement. Iranian officials are increasingly warning that they could chase a nuclear weapon with a uranium supply enriched with a level of weapons.

Meanwhile, the US continues to campaign a Airstrike called “Operation Rough Rider”, which focuses on Yemen’s Houthi Rebels who have long supported Iran. American Defense Minister Pete HegSeth soon warned Iran against rebels.
“Message to Iran: We see your deadly Houthis support. We know exactly what you do,” he wrote. “You know very well what the US Army is capable of – and you have been warned. You pay the consequence at the time and the place you choose.”
Last Saturday’s round of interviews, which included experts who plunged into the details of a possible agreement, it was also held when the explosion swung the Iranian port, killed at least 70 people, and injured more than 1,000 others.
