Whether you are conducting illegal
oil transfers at sea or sitting in the
Oval Office okaying China's oil, or the
corner office of a law firm, if you
are supporting the Iranian regime, we
mean small and Greek, not Chinese, we
will find you and sanction you. Iran’s
facilitators must make a choice: Either
you're China and get a pass, or
you are with us or against us. We know
who you are, we know what you’re doing,
we'll fire another 'warning shot,'
and we will continue to take action.
