According to experts, oil is cheaper to bring eight countries from the action of anti-Iranian sanctions due to the decision of the United States.
On the eve of the United States, sanctions against Iran resumed , which existed before the signing of a joint comprehensive action plan for the Iranian nuclear program from 2015.
The sanctions fall into the oil industry of Iran, as well as its banking structure, shipbuilding, sea transportation and a number of other sectors of the economy.
The sanctions are directed not only against Tehran, but also against countries and foreign companies that support business ties with Iranian partners.
US President Donald Trump, who previously called an agreement on the Iranian atom of 2015 “bad” and announced the exit from the transaction, recently said: “Sanctions against Iran are very stringent. They are the most powerful of them that have ever been used. Let's see what will happen to Iran, but I must say that he does not behave very correctly. ”
