The unsealing of the forfeiture complaints, by the Justice Department, came at the same time that the Treasury Department and State Department jointly slapped sanctions on a combined 11 different entities and individuals for their involvement in the purchase and sale of Iranian petrochemicals. Michael Sherwin, the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said on Thursday that the unsealing of the Justice Department’s complaints was “divorced from politics.”The Justice Department’s forfeiture civil cases involve alleged schemes by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to secretly ship weapons to Yemen and fuel to Venezuela.

The US is just obsessed with people who won't bend the knee.

We're about to go to war with Russia and China.

😮

Is Turkey one of those entities? Probably not. Trump has business there.

Apparently the US is allowed to engage in acts of piracy in direct contravention of international law... The US has no legal basis to make laws that apply outside of its borders. The UN and Security Council can create internationally binding laws, not the Trump administration.

I think UNCLE SAM still holds a GRUDGE over the Hostages during the 70s🤔 oh boo hoo IRAN ain't no threat to national US security but we US keep fucking with IRAN with sanctions I can see why they chant DEATH TO AMERICA not US the people but the GOVERNMENT

why dosent the United States Government so edgy and scared of IRAN getting the BOMB? 🤔 I seriously doubt IRAN will launch a attack on US soul lol now ISRAEL 😂 but since Washington have a love relationship with Israel because they police the volital Middle East

Responsibility should be entrusted with the historically deserving

The US DOJ is bat shit crazy.

The US is literally declaring economic warfare on a sovereign nation in order to incite a provocation. The imperialist playbook is alive and well.

My poor people. Keep the missiles but release goods for people

Good

It's Called Robbery! The US Has Long Become A Rogue State Under The Trump Clique! Disgusting! HandsOffIran
