The temporary US sanctions exemptions granted to eight major importers of Iranian crude oil expire on Thursday, with Iranian officials brushing off US threats to bring their energy exports down "to zero" and warning that the use of oil sanctions could lead to further volatility in global energy markets.

Iran must counter the enemy's "battle formation" and pressures ranging from economic warfare to political pressure and intelligence-gathering efforts by taking appropriate measures in response, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has indicated.

"The US and the Zionism are plotting and acting [against Iran] in all areas," Khamenei said, speaking to teachers in Tehran on Wednesday on the eve of National Teachers Day, the Tasnim News Agency has reported.

"In the face of the enemy's battle formation against the Iranian nation, the nation should take up battle formation likewise," he stressed.

Iran: US Presses UN Members to Breach Resolution Endorsing JCPOA Or Be Punished
According to Khamenei, President Donald Trump's hostile behaviour toward Iran is not new, but rather a continuation in the open of the policies of previous administrations.


"America and [Israel] are planning and making moves in all areas. Of course, this is not unique to the current American administration. Previous administrations have also done the same things with velvet gloves. But the current president…has taken off these gloves and everyone can see what they have hidden underneath," Khamenei said.

According to the supreme leader, all enemy plots against Iran will eventually backfire, and young Iranians will live to "witness the defeat of America and Zionism as well as the ultimate dignity and grandeur of the Iranian nation."

Iran Warns Using Oil Cuts as Weapon Could Collapse OPEC
Long-standing tense relations between Iran and the United States took a turn for the worse in May 2018, after Washington unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal. Since then, the US has slapped Iran with multiple rounds of tough sanctions, including energy restrictions aimed at bringing Iran's oil exports down "to zero" to cripple the country's economy.


In November 2018, Washington provided eight major importers of Iranian oil, including China, India, South Korea, Japan, Greece and Italy, with temporary waivers exempting them from US sanctions. The wavers expired on Thursday, with the administration giving no indication of any plans to extend them.

Iran has warned that any direct effort by the US or any other country to stop the country from exporting its oil could lead to a closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which about 20 per cent of the world's total oil supplies pass.

On Wednesday, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh said that any US bid to cut Iran's oil exports to nothing would be a "pious hope," adding that any country which uses oil "as a political tool should accept its repercussions as well." According to the minister, the present US efforts against Iran and Venezuela, two founding members of OPEC, may lead to the organisation's disintegration.

Khamenei is 100% about mullah power and 0% about the welfare of the Iranian people. Give up your nuke ambitions, permanently, and the lives of Iranians can become prosperous, as they deserve to be.

Yeah sure, Americans telling others to keep their ambitions in check. If anything the lesson learned by the world from this whole debacle is not to trust American commitments. The best way to keep Iran in check was the nuclear deal, that was the only way over sometime the moderates could take power from the hardliners but Trump once again handed them power, so good luck with that plan of yours.
Youre also forgetting one thing if one country that had been skirting around American sanctions, it is Iran, they have 30+ years experience and they will use that to the fullest. So the only one making money from this will be smugglers and lawyers.

And stop with this pretentious BS of yours as to care about the Iranian people, American dont even care about its own citizens yet, wants to say they care about ordinary citizens.

Hey Qaddafi gave up nuke ambitions permanently and COMPLETELY.

What happened to him?

Americans will never accept an independent Islamic Republic in Iran.....unless Americans are forced to via strength (example: Communist China)

The decision is for Iranians to make.

We were sanctioned before we started our nuclear program. As long as we don’t submit to US and become slaves of Zionists like Saudi. It doesn’t matter who is in power in Iran

Return to being a vassal state you mean.
Thats the real problem here and always was,if it wasnt the excuse of irans civilian nuclear power program then it would be the excuse of irans missile forces,or it would be hezbollah,or it would be something else etc,etc,etc.Because when it comes down to it theres just no appeasing the us....especially right now when its in full on fascist gangster mode under the current chumpist regime.

In addition to Turkey and Venezuela, Both Iran and Pakistan are in the potential coup attempt list.

We need to be careful, they are trying to de-fang strong Muslim nations.

He and his followers are going to stand up against UUSA.... Their plan is increasing fuel price by 150% in next weeks ....

When negotiating with these desert people, ALWAYS remember to not only project strength, but to also enforce high IQ, white, Protestant & Catholic power. These desert people are caravan vagabonds at best. Iranians think they're the intellectual elite of the muslim world. Many of them are atrociously arrogant. They must know their place. Soon Venezuela will be ours again. White Christians must re-assert their power with ruthlessness. It's the only way to make these camel jockeys understand Pax Britannica & Pax Americana.

Compared to the civilization in Persia in the history, you Americans are slightly better than roadshitters. Those desert vagabonds are the Arabs, not the Persians. Open up a history book or two once in a while before opening that big mouth.

Its just another deluded fascist with its typical delusions of racial and cultural superiority,sadly since the election of the chumpists these things have been crawling out from every sewer or under every rock that the`ve spent the last 74 years hiding under.Basically just very large bipedal cockroaches.

Now let us not get carried away with emotions.

Yes, Persians have a rich history. Credit where due.

Nevertheless, USA is a very advanced nation-state - the source of numerous great technological and material inventions which have completely reshaped lifestyle of human beings around the world in a short span, and even methods of warfare. American soft power is also tremendous to say the least.

USA [is] revolution - New World Order since 20th century - propelling mankind to great heights.

Of-course, USA have a DARK SIDE as well, and it can be unfair in its dealings at times.
