BREAKING: The Trump administration announces new sanctions on Iran following this week's missile strikes. The sanctions will target eight senior Iranian officials as well as companies in the steel and other sectors.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin brief reporters about additional sanctions placed on Iran, at the White House, Friday, Jan. 10, 2019, in Washington.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the new sanctions will target eight senior Iranian officials involved in “destabilizing” activities in the Middle East as well as Tuesday’s missile strike, which came in retaliation for the U.S. killing of a senior Iranian general in a drone strike.
“As a result of these actions we will cut off billions of dollars of support to the Iranian regime,” the treasury secretary said.
