Biden unlikely to cut Iran's oil lifeline after Israel attack: Iran's unprecedented missile and drone strike on Israel is unlikely to prompt dramatic sanctions ...

reuters.com/world/biden-unlikely-cut-irans-oil-lifeline-after-israel-attack-2024-04-16/

Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions

Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.

The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.

Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.

Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

Quick Glance: Taiwan: Successful Earthquake Preparedness

Taiwan, situated in a seismically active area, faces frequent earthquakes, particularly along the scenic rural east coast.

Following past earthquakes, Taiwan revised building codes and strengthened disaster management laws to be better prepared for future events.

Response to earthquakes has improved, with enhanced coordination between government units and non-governmental organizations in disaster areas.

Taiwan has also bolstered the resilience of its communication networks to effectively respond to potential attacks or natural disasters.

China is funding the U.S. fentanyl crisis, House panel says in new report: The Chinese Communist Party uses tax rebates to subsidize the manufacturing and export ...

nbcnews.com/politics/congress/china-funding-us-fentanyl-crisis-house-panel-says-new-report-rcna147952

Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.

A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.

The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.

The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.

Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.
