America seizes Iranian oil tankers in the Arabian Gulf!”

Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani stated in a television interview that Iranian oil tankers seized by U.S. forces in the Arabian Gulf were using forged Iraqi documents to facilitate their export and sale to other countries, evading the American embargo imposed on Iranian oil products.

These developments come in the context of the U.S. administration reinstating the ‘maximum pressure’ policy on Iran, a strategy previously adopted during Donald Trump’s first term as president. The aim was to isolate Tehran from the global economy, reduce its oil export revenues to limit its ability to develop nuclear weapons, and reach a new agreement ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities.
