Netanyahu praises fresh US sanctions against Iran
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises the secondary sanctions on Iran announced by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today.
“You justly exact a steep price from that cruel dictatorship and from those who assist its continued aggression,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
Bessent announced today that the US is targeting five sectors with sanctions, including digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping, and warned countries to stop doing business with Iran.
