US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order imposing sanctions on Iran, citing “aggressive behaviors by the Iranian regime in recent weeks.”
The sanctions block Iran’s leadership from access to the US financial system or any other assets in the US. The order also allows the Secretary of the Treasury to sanction anyone providing material support to the Iranian leadership. The drone attack last week and the regime’s announced plans to stockpile more enriched uranium are cited as the reasons for the sanctions.
