美國財政部加強對伊朗的壓力度,對伊拉克石油和民兵組織實施制裁

By

-- 美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室週四宣布對伊拉克副石油部長阿里·馬裡傑·巴哈德利和伊朗支持的民兵組織實施制裁,華盛頓方面加大了對德黑蘭的壓力。財政部在聲明中表示,此舉旨在加強對伊朗的施壓。 財政部指控巴哈德利利用其在伊拉克石油部的職務之便,將石油收入轉移給與伊朗有關的民兵組織,並對石油貿易商薩利姆·艾哈邁德·賽義德實施制裁。 此外,三名與伊朗支持的恐怖民兵組織「正義聯盟」(Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq)和「烈士旅」(Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada)有關聯的高級人員也因在伊拉克境內襲擊美國人員、外交機構和企業而受到製裁。 財政部長史考特·貝森特指控伊朗利用伊拉克的石油資源資助恐怖主義活動。 「財政部不會袖手旁觀,任由伊朗軍方利用伊拉克石油資助針對美國及其夥伴的恐怖主義活動,」他說。 財政部表示,這些行動是根據針對伊朗經濟關鍵部門(包括伊朗石油部門)的第13902號行政命令以及針對恐怖組織、其支持者和協助恐怖主義行為者的第13224號行政命令(經修訂)採取的。 財政部還補充說,巴哈德利幫助賽義德獲得了伊拉克石油的出口權,並批准了每天從蓋亞拉油田到霍爾祖拜爾價值數百萬美元的卡車運輸業務。 聲明稱,美國財政部外國資產管制辦公室(OFAC)於2025年6月將賽義德列入製裁名單,原因是其經營一個公司網絡,出售虛假申報為伊拉克石油的伊朗石油以規避制裁。 報告指控,位於伊拉克的VS石油碼頭公司在向全球市場出口石油前,將伊朗原油與伊拉克石油混合,並使用偽造的伊拉克政府文件掩蓋石油來源。 美國財政部對「正義聯盟」(Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq)官員穆斯塔法·哈希姆·拉齊姆·貝哈迪利(Mustafa Hashim Lazim Al-Behadili,又名賽義德·奧恩)實施制裁,理由是他參與石油走私活動,並與伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊聖城旅協調伊朗石油運輸。 財政部同時制裁了四家與貝哈迪利有關的伊拉克公司,包括海灣能源石油服務公司(Gulf Energy Oil Services)、海灣總承包公司(Gulf General Contracting)、伊拉克國際石油產品進口銷售能源公司(Iraq International Energy for the Import and Sale for Petroleum Products)以及海灣通用運輸和海事服務及房地產諮詢公司)。 美國財政部也對前卡塔伊布·賽義德·舒哈達旅副秘書長艾哈邁德·胡代爾·馬克蘇斯·馬克蘇斯和高級官員穆罕默德·伊薩·卡齊姆·舒瓦伊利實施制裁,原因是他們參與了涉及真主黨的武器轉移。 制裁凍結了所有與被制裁個人和實體相關的美國境內財產和金融權益,美國公民通常未經美國財政部外國資產控制辦公室(OFAC)授權不得進行涉及被凍結資產的交易。 財政部表示,美國和外國的個人、公司和金融機構可能因違反制裁規定而面臨民事或刑事處罰,而外國銀行若為涉及被制裁方的重大交易提供便利,則可能面臨二級制裁。 財政部稱,其「經濟狂怒」行動已造成數十億美元的伊朗預期石油收入損失。 財政部表示:“財政部正在積極推進‘經濟狂怒’行動,已造成數十億美元的預期石油收入損失,並採取行動凍結了近5億美元的與伊朗政權相關的加密貨幣,同時打擊了德黑蘭的影子銀行網絡。” 該機構還警告稱,支持伊朗貿易網絡的外國公司、航空公司和銀行可能面臨制裁,其中包括與中國獨立煉油廠有關的機構。 任何透過秘密航運或金融管道幫助運輸伊朗石油的船舶或個人實體都可能受到美國制裁,因為華盛頓正在打擊規避制裁的計畫和數位資產網路。 該機構補充說,美國實施的海上封鎖“直接針對伊朗政權的主要收入來源,任何協助非法石油或其他產品流動的個人或船舶都可能面臨美國制裁。”

The Wall Street Journal reported the two countries are working with mediators to come up with a framework to resume negotiations, with talks in Pakistan beginning as soon as next week on a 14-point memorandum of understanding offered by the Trump Administration.Traders have been cautious about turning to gold as a safe haven during the economic turmoil that followed Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, blocking exports from Persian Gulf nations that supplied 20% of global oil demand.
