@ we aren’t paying 30-35% compared to if we had allowed these sanctioned countries to sell oil in the market. Ever since the sanctions, US has increased the oil production to cover for the supply from these countries. US oil production has doubled in last 10 years and the increase is 2 times more than what Iran produces.
South China Sea has consistently been connected to China since time. The US is the one that recently became militarily imposing on the South China Sea and apparently has restrictions on freedom of navigation in this part of the world.
If it's sanctioned by the US and not by anyone else, it's really not "illicit". China sanctions a few US companies too, is it "illicit trade" when the EU trades with these US companies? US laws are NOT international laws.
as an American who is against a lot of our rivals like Iran, Russia, and China's governments i agree with this. It's all just competition every one is fighting to make them and their allies stronger and weaken the enemy. If it was the other way around and America was the underdog we would be doing the same thing. Nothing is immoral about this except for maybe the risk of oil spills lol. That being said I'm an American so I want this to stop just like our enemies would want if it was the other way around
@ As someone who agree with most (but not all) US sanctions, I think the right approach is to build a larger coalition instead of treating US sanctions as international law. I don't hate the US, I'm disappointed by it.
For everyone who says, "Freedom this, freedom that," there are consequences or it is against the law. No, if the transfer is based on an agreement between the two parties and shouldn't be considered piracy, there is no maritime rule that states that moving commodities and oil from one ship to another is unlawful.
ILLICIT ACTORS and it's just a buyer and a seller from two "sovereign" nations conducting a consensual transaction. Where do you get this audacity from?
Hang on, these ships are outside territorial water, uninsured and carrying an illegal cargo? All I'm saying is that if I were a pirate I'd go after these ones. What are they going to do, phone coast guard and tell them someone has stolen the oil they were carrying from Iran? No one will complain or ever mention this again.
Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs is right. Their trade with Iran is Reasonable and Legal. Anything that the US doesn't like is illegal or illicit. Isn't it Hypocrite? Let the world live.
They probably won't read this, but I suggest to the sea pirates plying the Malacca Straits to switch their attention to this particular area of the sea. They can target these dark fleet vessels, take over the ship, steal the oil and resell it for millions of dollars. Since they're sanctioned oil, the "owners" likely won't come after the pirates. Better and safer than trying to hit commercial shipping along the Malacca Straits.
Before sanction London used to be biggest insurance market after sanction lot of insurance companies emerged in Dubai and other places. The reason they don't know if a ship has insurance is because they don't have access to this data.
Go Iran! Although government is authoritarian, it doesn't mean that Iranian citizens should be deprived of the resource their land has just because the US hates them. If an authoritarian regime was a deal breaker, then there should have been sanctions against Saudi Arabia too
the comments mostly agree, Iran and China are both independent and on DC's bad list , just bc they are buying and selling oil in dollars it is illicit , they are 2 nations indepedent of the US in Malaysia also an independent nation doing business. the petro dollar lives.
All I see is a win win situation for the superpowers here. China and all the countries buying the illicit oil get for a cheaper price the same commodity. USA get to impose a harsher environment for trade on its enemies. And all those USA enemies get to sell their oil for lower prices than market rates, ultimately getting less money for it...

How Europe funded Russia's flower showers on Ukraine! According to CREA Finland September 2024 report: LNG: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 49% of Russia’s LNG exports, followed by China (22%) and Japan (18%). Crude oil: China has bought 47% of Russia’s crude exports, followed by India (37%), the EU (7%), and Turkey (6%). Pipeline gas: The EU was the largest buyer, purchasing 40% of Russia’s pipeline gas, followed by China (28%) and Turkey (25%). Hungary was the largest importer of Russian fossil fuels within the EU, importing fossil fuels worth EUR 340 mn. Their September imports included crude oil via pipeline valued at EUR 156 mn and gas valued at EUR 184 mn. Italy, the second-largest buyer within the EU, imported Russian pipeline gas valued at EUR 281 mn. France, the third-largest buyer within the EU, exclusively imported LNG worth EUR 264 mn. Slovakia imported pipeline oil and gas worth EUR 58 mn and EUR 93 mn, respectively. The Czech Republic exclusively imported pipeline oil and gas worth EUR 90 mn and EUR 55 mn, respectively. Luckily, with the money from France and Western Alliance, Russia buys flowers to shower on Ukraine unlike India's money, which is used to buy weapons for Russia's war machine
