Everyone knows that the United States has banned the import of Iranian oil. Recently, Malaysia has publicly stated that it only recognizes UN sanctions. This can't help but remind people of a blood-boiling scene - Malaysia hardens the United States in front of him!
As you will recall, the United States has been imposing economic sanctions on Iran, especially the oil embargo. This is a major "killer weapon" used by the United States to suppress Iran. But Malaysia is not buying it. Malaysia's foreign minister bluntly stated at an international conference: "We only recognize UN sanctions, and the rest, don't talk about it." As soon as these words came out, the international community immediately exploded. The United States hit the nail this time!
When it comes to sanctions, everyone may feel that this is a national affair and is far away from themselves. Actually, there are many stories behind the sanctions. For example, Iran has abundant oil resources, which could not find buyers as soon as the sanctions began. Changes in the supply and demand of oil in the market, price fluctuations, and people's lives are also affected. And a country like Malaysia, although it is not big, also needs oil. Malaysia believes that as long as the United Nations does not impose sanctions, then Iran's oil is legally traded. Buying Iranian oil not only saves money, but also maintains the stability of the domestic economy, which is their starting point.
We often say, "The more friends you have, the easier the way to go." The same is true in the international arena.
