Trump reimposes Iran sanctions to exert ‘maximum economic pressure’
2018-08-07
[ARABNEWS] Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on Monday signed an executive order reimposing a raft of economic sanctions on Iran over the country's nuclear program.

The US president said earlier this year he would pull his country out of the 2015 deal, which curbed Iran's ability to enrich uraniam to certain levels in exchange for an end to crippling sanctions.

He said the reintroduction of the sanctions were designed to levy "maximum economic pressure" on Tehran.

However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
Trump also said he remains open to forging a new nuclear deal with Iran.

"I remain open to reaching a more comprehensive deal that addresses the full range of the regime's malign activities, including its ballistic missile program and its support for terrorism," Trump said.

A first phase of the sanctions against Iran goes into effect overnight.
