China’s Ministry of Commerce said on Saturday it had issued an injunction to block U.S. ​sanctions imposed on five Chinese refiners accused ‌of buying Iranian oil, according to state news agency Xinhua.

The ministry named the five as Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery, and ​so called ‘teapot’ refineries Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical Group, Hebei ​Xinhai Chemical Group, Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical and Shandong ⁠Shengxing Chemical.

In April, the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions ​on Hengli Petrochemical, accusing it of buying billions ​of dollars in Iranian oil, in an escalation of Washington’s long-running effort to curb Tehran’s oil revenue.

I guess you can file something with an appropriate court. Something the embassy would do probably. Get it suspended pending more investigation, or a higher court ruling against the lawfulness of whatever you’re complaining about

USA is a rogue nation, committing genocide, engaging in illegal wars, and using Mafia methods against other nations.
This may not be entirely new, but the level and stupidity of it is, and the worse USA is behaving, the more their power will slip.
