Trump Imposes New Sanctions on Iran, Targets Supreme Leader

USA Today

US President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday that targets Iran's supreme leader and associates with additional financial sanctions, Al Jazeera reports

Trump said the action follows a series of aggressions by Iran, including last week's downing of an unmanned US surveillance drone.

The targets of the new sanctions include senior military figures in Iran, blocking their access to any financial assets under US jurisdiction. They also work to deny Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's and his close aides' access to money and support.

Trump said the supreme leader and his associates were ultimately responsible for what the US president called "the hostile conduct of the regime".
