国际英语资讯:Roundup: U.S. reimposes sanctions on Iran oil, banking industries amid Tehrans rejection

Three noNPRoliferation projects currently underway in Iran have got temporary waivers. The exemptions are designed to last up to 180 days.

According to Pompeo, more than 20 importing countries and regions have "zeroed out" their imports of crude oil already.

Iran on Monday strongly opposed U.S. sanctions on its pillar industries, saying that the United States will not be able to stop Iran's oil exports.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Iran will continue to sell its crude oil in the international market despite "cruel" U.S. sanctions.

Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif slammed U.S. defiance of the international conventions in a tweet on Monday, dismissing the reimposed sanctions as targeting "ordinary people" and defying the UN Security Council.

China expressed regret over Washington's decision to reimpose sanctions on Iran.

Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hua Chunying told a daily briefing that the international community has shown widespread opposition to unilateral sanctions and long-arm jurisdiction.

"The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is a multilateral agreement ratified by the UN Security Council and should be implemented in a comprehensive and effective way," said Hua.

"This is conducive to upholding the international nuclear non-proliferation regime as well as peace and stability in the Middle East and serves the common interests of the international community," she added.
