বাংলাThe United States has imposed Iran oil sanctions on a Chinese refinery accused of purchasing large volumes of Iranian crude oil, escalating global energy tensions.
The US Treasury Department stated that Hengli Petrochemical in China was involved in importing Iranian oil, leading to the enforcement of Iran oil sanctions against the company.
Additionally, around 40 vessels and shipping firms linked to Iran’s “shadow fleet” have also been sanctioned.
Analysts suggest that these measures aim to reduce Iran’s oil exports and increase economic pressure on Tehran. However, China remains the largest buyer of Iranian oil.
Data indicates that more than 80% of Iran’s oil exports in 2025 are being purchased by China, showing limited impact of the Iran oil sanctions.
Experts believe targeting Chinese banks involved in oil transactions could be more effective in restricting Iran’s oil trade.
The US has stated it will continue efforts to disrupt Iran’s oil transportation and sales networks globally.
