US imposes fresh sanctions against Iran

Pars Today - The US State Department, on Wednesday, once again announced the imposition of new sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the news, saying: "We have sanctioned seven entities and two vessels related to the trade in Iranian oil and petrochemical products." Rubio, repeating US's hostile stance against Iran, claimed: "President Donald Trump is committed to reducing Iran's illegal (!) oil exports to zero as part of the maximum pressure campaign." The Trump administration's insistence on continuing the campaign with Iran comes despite US officials having previously acknowledged that the maximum pressure campaign against Iran has failed./ Mehr news agency
