BATTLE FOR WORLD / DEBKA | May 18, 2019: The article highlights that the Chinese oil tanker "Pacific Bravo" has loaded some 2 million barrels of Iranian oil from the Soroosh and Kharg terminals in the Persian Gulf, according to data provided by TankerTrackers.com. The act is seen as the first violation of US sanctions since Washington, DC cancelled all exemptions.

Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif is in Beijing for talks with Chinese leaders on "regional and international issues.” The purchase of Iranian oil in the absence of a waiver exposes the companies involved in the transaction — including the tanker operator, refinery customer, and bank — to possible boycott by the US financial system as the US Treasury Department issues threats. Pacific Bravo was purchased by the Chinese Bank of Kunlun, the financial institution of China-Iran bilateral trade.

(BattleForWorld: Readers, China-Russia and allies are waiting for the appropriate time to bring their financial interbanking system online. It appears the US is aware of this future and is just hastening the process.

The US with Israel by its side [with the Europeans thinking it over], is going to encourage Trump to bomb Iran using fake news. Readers, don't forget, it was the Zionists who ended Mueller's witch-hunt against Trump; and that means Trump agreed to something. [The ruling elites did the same thing to Bill Clinton using the Israeli agent Monica Lewinsky. And Yugoslavia is no more. The Mueller report ramblings continue to lurk in the background reminding Trump: We had a deal.] And the Zionists want what's due to them. Whether Trump carryout the Zionist request in full or in part we have to wait and see. John Bolton is constantly scratching to find the ruling elites' next slaughter.)
