(UDHAYAM, WASHINGTON) – The U.S. is expected to impose sanctions on Iranian entities under existing executive orders that predate President Donald Trump.
These additional sanctions will reportedly be stipulated in response to Iran’s missile test on Sunday.
Former US President, Barack Obama, imposed sanctions on Iran, after the country’s previous ballistic missile tests.
A bi-partisan group of Senators yesterday (2nd February) sent a letter to President Donald Trump, stating “Iranian leaders must feel sufficient pressure to cease deeply destabilizing activities, from sponsoring terrorist groups to continued testing of ballistic missiles.”
The letter added that the “full enforcement of existing sanctions and the imposition of additional sanctions on Iran for its ballistic missile program are necessary”. (Courtesy – FP)
