An Emergency UPDATE on Sanctions during the COVID-19 Pandemic to enforce illegal U.S. sanctions: - A U.S. Naval Blockade threatens 5 Iranian tankers en route to Venezuela and other normal trade. - Meanwhile 15 oil and supply tankers are blocked from entering Yemen’s ports. The U.S. Navy has blockaded Yemen by sea, land and air for 5 years. - U.S. military, economic and diplomatic aid supports the Israeli naval and land blockade of Gaza. - The seizure of a Korean ship, decades of sanctions and U.S. Naval war games just off the coast of DPRK threaten all of Asia. - U.S. aircraft carriers, nuclear subs and destroyers continue to threaten shipping in the Persian Gulf and Straights of Hormuz. - US escalating military threats against shipments of desperately needed supplies pose a threat to the entire world. - The Pentagon consideration of new nuclear tests, along with mass production of thousands of hypersonic nuclear missiles and U.S. commanded war games in Europe and the Pacific are an ominous escalation. - Coercive economic measures backed up by military threats are Acts of War. - Interference in normal and perfectly legal trade between independent nations is an act of piracy. - In a time of global pandemic all of these acts are Crimes against Humanity. |
