U.S. Details New Sanctions on Top Iranian Officials
(ABC News) Conor Finnegan - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin detailed new sanctions on Iran at the White House Friday targeting Iran's steel and iron industries, as well as eight Iranian security officials. The President also signed a new executive order that authorizes further sanctions against any sector of Iran's economy, including construction, manufacturing, textiles, and mining, threatening to shut down all of Iran's major industries and to target foreign companies and banks that do business with any of these Iranian sectors. "These punishing economic sanctions will remain until the Iranian regime changes its behavior," Trump said.
