News India Live, Digital Desk: In the world of diplomacy, what is often seen is not what happens. When representatives of Iran and America were sitting at the table in Muscat, the capital of Oman, trying to reduce tension, at the same time an order from Washington shocked the whole world. America attacks Iran’s oil and petrochemical network New and very strict sanctions Has been announced.
Surprisingly, these sanctions were imposed within minutes of the talks ending, which is being seen as a major blow to Iran.
What is America’s ‘maximum pressure’ plan?
The Trump administration has made it clear that it wants to completely halt oil exports, which are the backbone of Iran’s economy. This time the target is that of Iran ‘Shadow Fleet’ Which secretly supplies oil to international markets.
Major points of sanctions:
15 institutions and 14 ships: The US has blacklisted companies and tankers that were illegally transporting Iranian oil.
Indian Connection: In this action a Indian company (Elevate Marine Management) And its director has also been targeted, who is accused of doing business with Iran.
New Tariff Ultimatum: President Trump has signed an executive order, under which countries doing business with Iran Additional tariff up to 25% Can be applied.
Oman talks: hopes dashed?
This indirect conversation held in Muscat was described by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as ‘positive’. But this step of Washington has made it clear that America wants to force Iran to bow down not only through words but also through tough economic strikes. US State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott bluntly said, “Iran is using its oil revenues to fuel terrorism and repression of its own people.”
What does this mean for India?
Since sanctions have also been imposed on an Indian company and its director, the situation has become sensitive for Delhi. America is now also putting pressure on those countries which are directly or indirectly associated with Iran in the energy sector. Experts believe that after February 7, America will prepare a list of countries on which ‘secondary sanctions’ can be imposed.
