President Trump declared that all purchases of oil or petrochemical products from Iran must cease immediately

This statement followed the postponement of nuclear talks mediated by Oman, aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program.

Targeting primarily China, Trump’s strategy aligns with his “maximum pressure” policy, but its impact may be limited due to Iran’s alternative partnerships, like Russia, and China’s history of circumventing sanctions.

This warning risks escalating volatility in global energy markets and regional tensions.
