Trump’s Economic Terrorism Facing Defeat

By: Kayhan Int’l 

Donald Trump’s policy of economic terrorism against Iran through his cowardly sanctions on companies and countries doing business with the Islamic Republic has brought nothing but disgrace and loss to the U.S.

The psychopath in the White House brags that he has drastically reduced Iran’s oil revenues by scaring away Tehran’s traditional crude oil customers, but he fails to realize the utter failure of his nefarious goal of forcing the Islamic Republic to renegotiate the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) which he unmanly breached over a year ago.
Although the Islamic Republic strongly believes in diplomacy, the question of talks with the U.S. on either the nuclear issue or Iran’s inalienable right to upgrade its missile defence technology and to increase efforts to build solid relations with the independent governments and popular mobilization forces in the region, never ever arises.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution has said without mincing words that "we will never talk with the U.S. on these and related issues.”
These clear words means that anyone, whether covertly or overtly, intent on compromising Islamic Iran’s national sovereignty, will be doing it at his own peril.
If the U.S. says that it is ready to lift its economic sanctions, provided Iran agrees to the talks, it is not doing the Islamic Republic any favour, since these sanctions are illegal and blatant violation of international law.
Trump and his team of terrorists know very well that their sanctioning of major firms of world countries trading with Iran, especially in importing Iranian oil, are actually proof their own impotency.
Neither China nor any of its companies against whom the U.S. has recently announced sanctions will buckle under pressure to stop business with Iran. In other words, they will neither pay any extra-territorial indemnity to Washington, nor will stop trading with the Islamic Republic.
There are several independent world countries that have brushed aside the U.N. sanctions and are busy buying from Iran a variety of Iranian products without the least regard for Trump’s threats.
One such country is Turkey, whose president explicitly said during the 74th session of the U.N. General Assembly in New York and also on his return home to Ankara, "it is impossible for Turkey to stop buying oil and natural gas from Iran, despite the threat of U.S. sanctions”.
Rajab Tayyeb Erdoghan made it clear that trade between the two neighbourng countries will continue.
He added that Turkey was not afraid of possible U.S. sanctions over its trade with Iran, and that Ankara did not want to sever its cooperation with Tehran.
