Iran imposed sanctions on outgoing US President Donald Trump and several ministers and advisers to his administration participated in its campaign to exert “maximum pressure” on Iran.
These sanctions include travel bans and a freeze on financial assets of Trump and other targeted US officials, who may have them in Iran.
And it was stated in a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, that this The measures were taken in accordance with a law enacted in 2017 entitled “Combat US human rights violations, adventurism, and terrorist acts in the region.”
In addition to Trump, who is leaving the White House on Wednesday, the sanctions specifically target Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Secretary of the Treasury Stephen Mnuchin and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper.
The list also includes former CIA Director Gina Haspel, Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton, US special envoy for Iran Brian Hook, and his successor, Elliott Abrams.
Given the total US sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic, the repeated attacks by the outgoing US president, and the people targeted by the sanctions against Iran, it is almost unlikely that they have assets in Iran or intend to visit Tehran.
Both Iran and the United States had chopped up His diplomatic relations since 1980.
In 2015, Trump decided to unilaterally withdraw from the international agreement on Iran’s nuclear program and reimpose the sanctions that the agreement had stipulated would be lifted in exchange for limiting Iran’s nuclear program.
