The targets of the new sanctions include senior military figures in Iran, blocking their access to any financial assets under US jurisdiction. They also work to deny Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his close aides access to money and support.
Trump said the supreme leader and his associates were ultimately responsible for what Trump called "the hostile conduct of the regime".
"Sanctions imposed through the executive order ... will deny the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader's office, and those closely affiliated with him and the office, access to key financial resources and support," Trump said.
With more sanctions and rumours of a cyberattack on Iran a few days ago, war is inching its way even closer. Will you be ready? Please leave your comments in the replies section below.
