Exhibit 1: New US Sanctions Coincided With The Murder Of Iranian Mohsen Fakhrizadeh
The
United States on Friday announced economic sanctions on Chinese and
Russian companies that Washington said had supported the development of
Iran’s missile programme.
The four firms, accused of
“transferring sensitive technology and items to Iran’s missile
programme”, will be subject to restrictions on US government aid and on
their exports for two years, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a
statement.
The sanctions, imposed on Wednesday, were against two
Chinese-based companies, Chengdu Best New Materials and Zibo Elim Trade,
as well as Russia-based Nilco Group and Joint Stock Company Elecon.
“We
will continue to work to impede Iran’s missile development efforts and
use our sanctions authorities to spotlight the foreign suppliers, such
as these entities in the PRC (China) and Russia, that provide
missile-related materials and technology to Iran,” Pompeo added.
An
earlier report by Bloomberg, citing a State Department filing, also
mentioned a third Russia-based company, Aviazapchast, as among those
being sanctioned. But it is unclear why Aviazapchast was not mentioned
in the later statement.
President Donald Trump withdrew the US in 2018 from the Iran nuclear deal established by President Barack Obama in 2015.
Trump has since reimposed crippling sanctions on Iran in what he calls a campaign of “maximum pressure”.
The
Trump administration has also since shown its determination to sanction
any foreign country or company that does not comply with its Iran
policies.
The timing of these new sanctions cannot be too clear a
coincidence with the assassination of Iran's chief nuclear scientist
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

PS. A self confession and admission by the evil Americans that they are part of the assassination squad.

Did they not tried sanctions for decades against North Korea for the same reason, for three generations?
And yet North Korea is now a nuclear state. The USA now wants North Korea to denuclearise? North Koreans suffered for three generations to come to this nuclear stage and the USA wants it to denuclearise? Not on Kim's grandfather's grave!
It will be stupid for any country to denuclearise. The US cannot be trusted any more. What happened to Gaddafi when he gave up his country's nuclear program?
What happened to Saddam Hussein when he gave up his chemical weapons?
They are both dead. Libya and Iraq are both now in shit state. The US has brought immense sufferings to the people of both countries instead of liberating them from their sufferings.
All the preachings about human rights and democracy by the US are BULLSHITS. The zUS simply wanted to get hold of the natural resources in both countries.
Now the US wants North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons because the US wants to invade North Korea and get hold of the huge deposits of Rare Earth in North Korea so that the US can built more stealth fighter aircraft and better avionics.
Without rare earth, the US is at the mercy of China to provide their needs. Now China is the supplier of 80% of the world's needs for rare earth.
Kim is smarter than his looks for not taking Trump seriously when the latter told him that Kim can continue to rule if he gives in to the USA and denuclearise.
Had Kim done that, he would have joined Saddam and Gaddafi by now. No US President can be trusted, least of all Trump, the prolific professional liar!
The people of Iraq and Libya deserve to be in chaos for wishing to have US sanctioned democracy. Now their wish has been granted, but at what price? Iraq is still in chaos after mission accomplished in 2003.
Countries in South America, Middle East, South Asia (including Philippines and Vietnam) and Africa had better open their eyes when fulfilling their wishes. It may not be what they really wished for.
