> The DOJ said “multiple entities” affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were involved in the scheme to “disguise the origin of the oil” and illegally sell it to China, according to court documents. Just to be clear - Iran is being accused of breaking US law?

I can be working for the subsidiary of a US company in an EU country, and I can pick my nose the wrong way and break US law. And if/when I find myself in the US to be arrested. US law has the amazing thing that it applies all over. I can traffic endangered species in Spain (thus violating an existing US law about this). Spain (for example) may not mind. US will have me for breakfast when they get their hands on me.

    Or the many countries allied with the U.S.A. where they could tell local law enforcement to pick you up...that's like all of Europe and North America.

      I don't know this for a fact, but I doubt that's true. I'm in the Netherlands right now, and I strongly suspect that like the poster says; the field of fucks given would be baron.

        The Netherlands extradited a woman to the U.S. for sending a measly $300 to Al-Shabab militants [1]. Your assertion doesn't ring true in any way. 1- https://apnews.com/article/africa-netherlands-somalia-al-shabab-28726c5a5a84f93ac9482f8f5c34e300 https://apnews.com/article/africa-netherlands-somalia-al-sha...

        Good thing I started with "I don't know this for a fact" then. The world is nicer when you don't bite, please try to be less hostile.
