After a series of aggressions, last week over the downing of an unmanned drown, and what Trump said was a last minute pullout from an attack on an Iranian base that would have left 150 dead, President Trump announced today more sanctions, and they specifically target the Supreme Leader Khamenei. Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's highest authority, was singled out because he was "ultimately responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime".
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.
Have a very nice day!
