U.S. imposes more sanctions on Iran after missile attacks in Iraq

WASHINGTON - The United States imposed more sanctions on Iran on Friday in retaliation for its missile attack on U.S. forces in Iraq this week and vowed to tighten the economic screws if Tehran continued “terrorist” acts or pursued a nuclear bomb.

No one was harmed in the Iranian ballistic missile attacks and the two sides seem to have stepped back from the brink of all-out conflict. President Donald Trump vowed on Wednesday to impose the additional sanctions, the most concrete U.S. response yet to the attacks. A commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards who was one of those sanctioned on Friday brushed of the new U.S. move as “symbolic.”

Those U.S. sanctions have driven down Iranian crude sales, the Islamic Republic’s main source of revenues, but so far have not brought Iran back to the negotiating table to discuss a new nuclear pact as sought by Trump. “This is a joke. These designations target an industry that is supposed to be off limits anyway and senior officials most of which were already designated,” said Nephew, now a senior research scholar and adjunct professor at Columbia University.

How long before the US is sanctioned for terrorism under Trump?

I wish the world would sanction Trump.

'symbolic', exactly

if i was iran ide fell like this becuase im not a white man but live in the nasty united slaves states real Americans born not invaded

ckchumley If that is the case, more intensive sanctions should be imposed.

After three years of failed sanctions and embargoes isn’t it time to come up with another plan? One that doesn’t ignite a major war? How about we get the major countries of the world together and negotiate an International Iranian nuclear deal?

*this* time sanctions will work

Iran be like:

😄this kind of sanctions are loosing values. just like QE of money

Send the troops to the desert. They love it there. Do it for Pompeo guys! Make him look like he’s not an idiot. USA! USA! 🇺🇸

Sad sad place trade embargo and go after Iran allies with sanctions

once again punishing the poor citizens of that country instead of dealing with the real issues in an adult manner.

Fame21Moore Sure they did

They Ayatollah be like:

Respect for a SOVEREIGN NATION. 👏👏👏

Shit! Sanctions doesn't solve things. Cuba is here to proof. USA must send atomic bombs right now before is to late.😡

Like Russia or China care about US sanctions.

Wesh ils vont jamais s'en sortir. Ils se font cogner leur général et après ils se prennent des agios. Ils vont finir à découvert bancaire jusqu'à la parousie !!!

Iraq is a market for sall of Iranian products .. Throughout the sanctions period Iran relied on Iraq to convert the US dollar and several other things

العراق سوق للمنتجات الإيرانية .. طوال فترة العقوبات ، اعتمدت إيران على العراق لتحويل الدولار الأمريكي وعدة أشياء أخرى

Whatever
