US sanctions companies it says trade Iranian oil, in bid to speed up nuclear talks
[IsraelTimes] Government agencies designate firms in Asia and Middle East, in wave of penalties on country’s companies and leadership

The US on Thursday imposed sanctions on a group of firms it says have played a critical role in shipping sanctioned Iranian oil.

The State Department designated two Chinese companies, and Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control hit a network of companies based in Hong Kong, Iran, India, and the United Arab Emirates.

US sanctions on Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
have accelerated in recent months, as administration officials try to bring Tehran back to negotiations for a return to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Sanctions were imposed in July on a group of firms tied to the sale and shipment of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products to East Asia.

"So long as Iran refuses a mutual return to full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the United States will continue to enforce its sanctions on the sale of Iranian petroleum and petrochemical products," said Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson.

The administration uses an August 2018 executive order signed by then-president Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
as its authority to impose the sanctions.

President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...
’s administration has been working to renew the nuclear deal, which Trump withdrew the US from in 2018. The agreement placed curbs on Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief, which Iran insists it never received.

In addition, the US has taken steps to punish Iran’s government after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini. She was detained this month by the morality police, who said she had not properly covered her hair with the mandatory Islamic headscarf, known as the hijab. Amini collapsed at a cop shoppe and died three days later. Her death set off protests in dozens of cities across the country, and the government responded with a fierce crackdown. An News Agency that Dare Not be Named count of official statements by authorities tallied at least 14 dead, with more than 1,500 demonstrators arrested.

The US imposed sanctions on the morality police and the leaders of other Iranian law enforcement agencies, denying them access to any property or financial assets held in the US.

Iraq
Iran claims ‘complete’ intel on US bases in Iraq in firm warning against targeting drones
[Rudaw] In a strong warning to the US military presence in Iraq, the head of the Iranian army claimed on Friday his side has ’complete and accurate’ information about three American bases in the Kurdistan Region and will retaliate if the US targets Iranian drones, two days after the Islamic republic bombarded the Region’s skies triggering the destruction of a drone by US forces.

"If the Americans take action against the Iranian drones, the armed forces of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran
...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979...
will respond to this hostile action and we reserve the right to confront and take Dire Revenge," armed forces chief of staff Mohammed Bagheri said, accusing the US of cooperating with Iranian-Kurdish opposition forces in the Kurdistan Region and warning the US not to stand in Iran’s path of targeting opposition bases.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday launched around 73 ballistic missiles and dozens of suicide drones towards bases of Kurdish opposition parties in the Kurdistan Region, accusing them of fueling protests in the country.

At least 18 people were killed and over 50 injured in the Iranian bombardment, according to statistics from the Kurdish health ministry.

Following the attacks, the US Central Command said its forces had intercepted an Iranian drone launched towards Erbil without causing any casualties.

"At approximately 2:10 PM local time, US forces brought down an Iranian Mojer-6 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle heading in the direction of Erbil as it appeared as a threat to US CENTCOM forces in the area."

Bagheri strongly warned that should a hostile act that threatens Iran’s national security originate from the American bases, the Iranian military reserves the right to and "will definitely respond to these bases," referring to US military installations in Erbil, Duhok, and Harir.

"Iran’s friendship with neighboring countries has customs and traditions, and if these customs and traditions are not respected, they should expect a logical and mutual response from us," Bagheri warned, reiterating that the Iranian military reserves the right to confront any acts it deems hostile.

OPERATIONS TO CONTINUE
The IRGC has vowed to continue targeting the bases of Kurdish opposition and never cease striking "until all bases are dismantled," launching a military operation against the opposition on Saturday codenamed "the Prophet of God," a reference to Prophet Mohammed.

The Kurdistan Democratic Party of Iran (KDPI), Komala, Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), and Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) all have forces inside Iranian cities. Iranian authorities have been in a state of panic since the opposition based in the Kurdistan Region called for a general strike across the Kurdish areas of western Iran on September 19, setting off the recent wave of unrest in the country.

Iran’s offenses were triggered by mass protests that engulfed the country following the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa (Zhina) Amini in police custody with the Iranian regime unable to suppress the demonstrations.

On Wednesday, the IRGC publicly accused Kurdish groups of being responsible for the latest wave of protests inside the country.

According to the latest tally posted by the Gay Paree-based Kurdistan Human Rights Network on Friday, at least 19 people have been killed in protests across Iran’s western Kurdish areas (Rojhelat) while thousands of others have been arrested and maimed as Iranian authorities violent mostly peacefully crack down on the demonstrations.

The US consulate in Erbil issued a security alert on Thursday advising its nationals to refrain from traveling to Iraq two days after encouraging countries around the globe to support the Iranian people amid the ongoing protests.
