Pres. Trump announces new Iran sanctions: 'These measures represent a strong and proportionate response to Iran's increasingly provocative actions. We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran until the regime abandons its dangerous activities.'
President Donald Trump on Monday announced new"hard-hitting" sanctions on Iran, including on the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The president said the U.S."does not seek conflict with Iran," but added that the sanctions"will deny the supreme leader and the supreme leader's office and those closely affiliated with him and the office access to key resources and support." "The assets of Ayatollah and his office will not be spared by the sanctions," Trump said Monday."We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran until the regime abandons its dangerous pursuits, including nuclear weapons, enrichment of uranium, engagement in and support for terrorism, fueling of foreign conflicts, and belligerent acts against the United States and its allies."
"I think a lot of restraint has been shown by us but that doesn’t mean we’re going to show it in the future," Trump said.

"I wouldn't read anything into that," Mnuchin replied."The executive order that the president signed was in the works previously. These actions are people who have either made threats or specific things and again I don't think you should interpret this anywhere otherwise other than we are designating people who we believe were responsible for the chain of command, whether they knew it or not.
Trump tweeted earlier Monday that the United States is not being fairly compensated for protecting shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz and questioned the United States' role in providing security in the important maritime region.
