Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter sanctions aimed at Iran’s supreme leader, the United States will target Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in the coming days, says US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
Mnuchin tells reporters Zarif will be added to an economic sanctions list “later this week,” adding that eight top military commanders from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have now also been blacklisted.
Mnuchin says the fresh wave of sanctions will cost the Iranians “billions,” adding that the financial penalties were in the works even before Iran downed a US drone.
