At the press conference of the spokesperson of the US State Department on Tuesday, one of the reporters demanded to announce the position of Matthew Miller regarding the signing of trade agreements between Tehran and Jakarta despite the sanctions.
“I don’t have a particular opinion about their trip [to Indonesia],” Miller replied. “I’m just saying in general that we will continue to strictly implement the sanctions against Iran.”
The spokesperson of the American diplomatic service added: “We will not hesitate to take action against the violators of the sanctions.” “We have taken such actions many times in the world and regularly interact with countries and warn them against taking steps against Iran that violate the sanctions.”
Indonesia is looking to find new markets in order to diversify its export options and reduce dependence on its traditional trading partners. The Borneo Bulletin website wrote that the weakening of the economy and geopolitical risks have caused negative effects on Indonesia’s trading partners.
