U.S. imposes new rounds of sanctions on Iran

The United States has issued new sanctions against Iran after its attack on Israel. In a move to punish Iran for its unprecedented attack on Israel last weekend, the Biden administration has imposed a new round of sanctions. They target 16 individuals and two entities involved in Iran’s drone production. In a White House statement, the president said he had directed the Treasury Department “to continue to impose sanctions that further degrade Iran’s military industries.” He also repeated that “the United States is committed to Israel’s security.”
