RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Iran asserts that the U.S. threat to re-impose sanctions on Venezuela\u2019s oil industry is illegal under international law and the UN Charter.<\/p>\n

Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, denounced on Thursday the U.S.\u2019s instrumental use of sanctions as a weapon to meddle in the internal affairs of other nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cResorting to such measures is tantamount to direct intervention in the internal affairs of countries and a violation of the United Nations Charter,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Iranian spokesperson issued a warning, stating that such actions would only serve to fortify independent nations\u2019 resolve and collaboration in opposing interventionist measures.<\/p>\n

Days after the top court in that South American nation upheld the disqualification of an opposition presidential candidate, the U.S. vowed on Monday to re-impose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry.<\/p>\n

U.S. corporations who do business with Venezuela\u2019s state-owned mining company Minerven have until February 13 to finish a \u201cwinddown of transactions\u201d with the company, according to a statement released by the U.S. Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control.<\/p>\n

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden responded to an agreement made by the government and opposition groups for the 2024 elections by largely easing sanctions on Venezuela\u2019s oil industry.<\/p>\n

The opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was banned for 15 years on Friday by the Venezuelan Supreme Court, which also ruled that her potential replacement, two-time presidential candidate Henrique Capriles, was ineligible.<\/p>\n
