Washington. Estados Unidos anunció este lunes que empezará a imponer sanciones a todo país, incluyendo aliados, que compre crudo a Irán, en un nuevo paso para aumentar la presión contra Teherán, su principal enemigo en Oriente Medio.

Con estas medidas, que específicamente ponen fin a las exenciones que permitían a ocho países seguir comprando crudo a Irán, Trump busca “llevar a cero las exportaciones” de petróleo iraní y “privar al régimen de su principal fuente de ingresos”, anunció la Casa Blanca.
