In a note to the US State Department, US President Joe Biden, who claims that his country is ready to return to the UN Security Council, created a new atmosphere against the Islamic Republic.
According to Reuters, the US President said in a note to his State Department yesterday (Friday) that there is enough oil supply for other countries to reduce oil purchases from Iran.
According to the report, the White House is required to confirm once every six months that there is sufficient oil supply in the world to maintain the sanctions imposed on Iran in 2012 during the presidency of Barack Obama.
Biden's remarks came ahead of a virtual meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday.
The United States is seeking to limit Iran's oil exports, with Reuters recently reporting that Chinese buyers continue to import Iranian oil despite US sanctions.
According to the report, in the last three months, China's oil imports from Iran have reached an average of more than half a million barrels per day.
