As expected, the United States will not let go of disobedient countries. If Pakistan upgrades F-16 fighter to remind India, then now, the United States has begun to attack India: the US sanctions stick is hitting India.
Indian media reports pointed out that the United States recently announced sanctions on an Indian entity on the grounds that the Indian company conducted energy transactions with the Iranian , which the United States did not deal with. This is the first time that an Indian entity has been sanctioned by the United States for conducting energy transactions with Iran.
According to Indian media reports, the Indian entity Tibalaji Petrochem, which was sanctioned by the United States, is headquartered in Mumbai . The United States believes that Tibalaji purchased several million dollars of Iranian petrochemical product and then sold it to South and Southeast Asian countries and regions including China. The U.S. Secretary of State announced earlier that the U.S. is taking measures to impose punitive measures on companies or individuals that undermine its sanctions on Iranian oil and petrochemical products.
In addition, Indian media also pointed out that the energy transaction between Tibalaji and Iran was carried out through a brokerage company headquartered in Hong Kong, China. In 2020, this brokerage company was sanctioned by the United States for having trade deals with Iranian state oil companies.
The logic of the United States is that the normal trading behavior of Tibalaji Company has undermined its sanctions on Iran and related companies, so it must be punished. It should be noted that during the Samarkand summit, Indian Prime Minister Modi and Iranian President Lehi held talks to strengthen cooperation between the two countries, and in recent times, cooperation between India and Iran has significantly enhanced. This means that Tibalaji is just the first Indian company currently sanctioned by the United States, but not the last one. As cooperation between India and Iran continues to increase, the United States may sanction more Indian companies and individuals for the same reason.
It should be mentioned that after the West imposed sanctions on Russian energy, the United States has also been warning India not to purchase large quantities of Russian energy, otherwise it will take corresponding measures against India. However, India was not scared by the threat from the United States and still insisted on buying large quantities of energy products such as Russian oil, which made the United States very unhappy. Now, the United States can attack Indian companies for the first time using the so-called "destroying its sanctions against Iran". Then, the United States may also use this excuse to punish Indian companies that trade energy with Russia.
In fact, whether it is launching a war or waving the sanctions stick, as long as the United States wants, there will be tens of millions of reasons to make it a reality. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. This is the hegemony of the United States. The United States has always wanted to create a world where all countries bow down to it and let it mercy. Therefore, whether it is China, Russia, or allies like India, as long as they go against their will, the United States will fight to achieve its goal of dominating the world and becoming the world hegemon.
However, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish", this sentence is usually used to describe a domineering dictator. And such people will not end up having a good ending in the end. Wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance. This is the eternal truth. The oppressor's temporary strength can do whatever he wants, but it will never be able to bully the weak for a long time. The rabbit will bite people if it is anxious. This is also why more and more countries have begun to resist the United States and no longer be slaughtered by the United States.
Until 2019, Iran was one of India's three major energy suppliers, but India was forced to stop buying Iranian oil due to US sanctions on Iran. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, the United States asked India to stop purchasing Russian oil. Speaking of which, isn’t the United States oppressing India in disguise? If India obeys the United States like Europe, neither buys energy from Iran nor from Russia, then which energy supplier country makes the United States unhappy, and the United States does not allow India to trade energy with it. In the long run, it is difficult to ensure that India will not fall into an energy crisis like Europe now.
Under the threat of the United States, India still insists on purchasing Russian energy. In addition to the reason why it can get a lot of cheap energy, there are probably lessons from the previous stopping Iranian oil because of listening to the United States. India has never been a relatively obedient ally of the United States, but in recent years, India's "disobedience" against the United States has become increasingly frequent, which actually reflects India's resistance to the long-term bullying of the United States.
continues to purchase Russian energy, strengthen cooperation with Iran, and announces temporary withdrawal from the " Indo-Pacific Economic Framework " against China... When these actions against the United States are made, for India, which has been dealing with the United States for a long time, they also know that they will be beaten by the United States if they are not obedient. Therefore, India probably expected that the big stick of US sanctions would hit it on itself. However, India also understands that blindly bowing to the United States will only be bullied forever, and will always harm the interests of the United States and harm its own interests.
