美國制裁中國茶壺煉油廠,打擊伊朗影子艦隊

-- 美國財政部週五表示,作為其打擊伊朗石油行動的一部分,已對一家位於中國的煉油廠和約40艘船隻實施制裁,進一步加大了對德黑蘭能源收入的壓力。 財政部稱,外國資產管制辦公室將目標鎖定在恆力石化煉油廠,該煉油廠是伊朗原油的主要買家,已購買了價值數十億美元的石油產品。 美國官員表示,中國獨立的「小批量煉油廠」(即「茶壺煉油廠」)透過從伊朗大量購買原油,在維持伊朗石油出口方面發揮關鍵作用。 財政部稱,位於大連的恆力煉油廠是中國第二大“茶壺煉油廠”,已從包括“BIG MAG”、“GALE”和“ARES”在內的受制裁船隻接收了原油,自2023年以來,這些船隻共計交付了超過500萬桶原油。 財政部補充說,該煉油廠還透過塞佩爾能源公司(Sepehr Energy)旗下的賈漢納馬帕爾斯煉油廠(Jahan Nama Pars)加工與伊朗武裝部隊有關的石油,為軍方創造了數億美元的收入。 財政部表示,這些措施依據第13902號行政命令執行,旨在支持其更廣泛的行動,以遏制伊朗的石油貿易、洗錢和規避制裁網絡。 財政部補充說,自2025年2月以來,作為其極限施壓戰略的一部分,該機構已對1000多名與伊朗有關的個人、船隻和飛機實施了製裁。 財政部表示,最新行動也針對伊朗的影子船隊,該船隊將生產商與亞洲買家聯繫起來,並在製裁下幫助伊朗維持石油出口。 財政部補充說,外國資產管制辦公室(OFAC)制裁了19艘參與向國外市場運輸價值數十億美元的原油、液化石油氣和石化產品的船隻。 美國財政部長斯科特貝森特表示:“經濟狂怒行動正在對伊朗政權施加經濟封鎖,阻礙其在中東的侵略行為,並有助於遏制其核野心。”

Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals (ASX:CUV) is unlikely to seek regulatory approval for Scenesse in vitiligo until the Phase 3 CUV105 and CUV107 clinical trials are completed, according to a Friday Jefferies note.The company said on Friday that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has proposed evaluating the company's Scenesse drug for the treatment of systemic vitiligo based on a "totality of evidence" regulatory approach.Jefferies said that the EMA's decision is a positive for the company because of the high unmet medical need for Vitiligo treatment.The investment firm has pushed back its revenue expectations from Scenesse in vitiligo, which is now expected to begin in the second half of fiscal 2029 rather than fiscal 2028.Jefferies kept a buy rating on Clinuvel and cut its price target to AU$39.20 from AU$40.50.
