US hits Iran with new sanctions as Pompeo defends strategy
[IsraelTimes] The United States hits Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
with new sanctions, as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo makes the case that undoing the actions of the Trump administration will be foolish and dangerous.

The Treasury and State departments announce they have targeted a leading Iranian charity and numerous of its affiliates for human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations. At the same time, Pompeo releases a statement titled "The Importance of Sanctions on Iran," which argues that the Trump administration’s moves against Iran make the world safer and should not be reversed.

The sanctions announced Wednesday target Iran’s Mostazafan Foundation and roughly 160 of its subsidiaries, which are alleged to provide material support to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
for malign activities, including the suppression of dissent.

"While [it] is ostensibly a charitable organization charged with providing benefits to the poor and oppressed, its holdings are expropriated from the Iranian people and are used by the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to enrich his office, reward his political allies, and persecute the regime’s enemies," the Treasury says in a statement.

Also targeted was Iran’s Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi, who it says "played a central role in the Iranian regime’s human rights abuses against Iranian citizens."
