The United States government is imposing sanctions on the Iranian Defense Ministry and on individuals and authorities linked to the country’s nuclear and weapons program, Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo announced.
Sanctions are also being imposed on Iran’s nuclear energy body.
President Donald Trump also issued a presidential order that means countries that trade with Iran can expect sanctions from the United States.
