Trump Administration Hits Iran With New Sanctions

By Daily Wire. On Friday, the Trump Administration smacked the terrorist, jihad-exporting, sharia supremacist Iranian regime with a fresh round of sanctions. . .

The Iranian regime is the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism. Iran is deeply embedded with Bashar al-Assad in Syria, supports the fundamentalist Islamist Houthi rebels in Yemen, supports Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad alike in the Gaza Strip, retains the Lebanese jihadist group Hezbollah as a Shiite proxy, and more generally funds lethal terrorism and sows chaos the world over. The U.S. has not had formal diplomatic relations with Iran ever since the fateful Islamic Revolution there in 1979. (Read more from “Trump Administration Hits Iran With New Sanctions” HERE)

Trump Administration Slaps New Sanctions on Iran

By Fox News. The Trump administration announced Friday that it is slapping new sanctions on more than two dozen Iranian individuals involved in the country’s nuclear and missile research programs, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo denounced Iran’s growing influence.

The Treasury Department said the sanctions target 31 Iranian scientists, technicians and companies affiliated with Iran’s Organization for Defense Innovation and Research, which is known to have been at the forefront of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

“Individuals working for Iran’s proliferation-related programs—including scientists, procurement agents, and technical experts—should be aware of the reputational and financial risk they expose themselves to by working for Iran’s nuclear program,” the State Department said in a statement on Friday.

The administration’s move to impose sanctions is unusual, because they are not focused on what the individuals are currently doing, but rather because of their past work in nuclear weapons development, and the potential that they could attempt to restart the nuclear activities.
