White House: We Enforce Iran Oil Sanctions, But Others Have to Do Likewise
EXCERPT:
KIRBY: "I would push back a little bit on the idea that sanctions have been lightened. We have not lightened any of the sanctions. In fact, we’ve added additional sanctions, some 400 sanctions on Iran just since the beginning of this administration. And we’re absolutely committed to a full and total enforcement. Now, obviously, other nations have to enforce their sanctions as well, and certainly we talk to them about that, but the United States has not backed off on any sanctions. Quite the contrary, we’ve added and increased our enforcement capability, not to mention that we have increased our military presence in the Gulf region and now, of course, in the Eastern Med to deter would-be actors like Iran who might want to try to take advantage of this situation."
