11/6 — US Plans ‘inspection Mechanism’ At Sea To Clamp Down On Iranian Oil Exports
The initiative comes as part of Trump’s campaign of sanctions on Iran and aims to stifle funding for the Iranian nuclear program
The government of US President Donald Trump is mulling a plan to stop and inspect Iranian oil vessels transiting the sea under an international mechanism aimed at stopping the “spread of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs),” according to sources cited by Reuters.
The plan would aim to clamp down on Iranian oil sales in an effort to stifle Tehran’s funding for its atomic energy program.
“Trump officials are now looking at ways for allied countries to stop and inspect ships sailing through critical chokepoints such as the Malacca Strait in Asia and other sea lanes. That would delay delivery of crude to refiners. It could also expose parties involved in facilitating the trade to reputational damage and sanctions,” the sources said.
“You don’t have to sink ships or arrest people to have that chilling effect that this is just not worth the risk. The delay in delivery … instills uncertainty in that illicit trade network,” one source clarified.
Trump’s government has studied the possibility of this inspection mechanism being organized under the 2003 Proliferation Security Initiative, which was led by Washington and aims to prevent the trafficking of WMDs.
