Biden Abandons Sanctions Against Iran

…We are slightly encouraged by one piece of related news. Last February, United Against Nuclear Iran reported that an oil tanker, the Suez Rajan, was smuggling oil from Iran’s Khargh Island in violation of American sanctions. The American Navy reportedly seized the tanker, and today, the AP reports, its cargo of crude, worth up to $56 million, started being offloaded at Galveston, Texas. We doubt that without the publicity on the Suez Rajan the Biden administration would act to enforce the sanctions in this case.
