Trump confirms more sanctions against Iran, says Tehran plane crash could be a ‘mistake’
President Donald Trump has announced fresh sanctions on Iran, a day after the Islamic Republic launched a missile attack on a pair of bases used by American troops in Iraq. Trump also called for a NATO presence in the Middle East.
Trump told reporters on Thursday that a new round of economic sanctions on Iran are “done” and will be applied pending an announcement by the Department of the Treasury.
It’s already been done… They were very severe, but now it’s increased substantially.

The sanctions – which come in addition to close to a thousand pieces of sanctions already applied since Trump withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, or Iran nuclear deal) in 2018 – are Trump’s response to an Iranian missile strike on two military bases in Iraq on Wednesday. The Iranian attack was itself a response to the American assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad on Friday.
