“Today, I am announcing that we will no longer grant any exemptions.” US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as Washington vows to punish countries that buy Iranian oil after May 2
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks during a news conference on Monday, April 22, 2019, at the Department of State in Washington.
"This decision is intended to bring Iran's oil exports to zero, denying the regime its principal source of revenue," the White House said in a statement. The administration had granted eight waivers when it re-imposed sanctions on Iran in November after Trump pulled the US out of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal.
They have also made the case that as a neighbour of Iran, Turkey cannot be expected to completely close its economy to Iranian goods.
