Trump imposes new economic sanctions on Iran

President Trump announced today that he is imposing new sanctions on Iran, for the recent aggressive acts by Tehran and the recent downing of a US drone by Tehran.

The Trump administration already moved this spring to cut off all revenues from Iranian oil exports,  the new sanctions -targeting Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei- are expected to be aimed at shutting down additional sources of income with the goal of forcing political change in Tehran.
