Trump: Economic sanctions to be reimposed on Iran

Trump says he’s now signing a US presidential memorandum “to begin reinstating economic sanctions on the Iranian regime.”

These are “the highest level of economic sanctions. America will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail. We will not allow american cities to be threatened with destruction and we will not allow a regime that shouts ‘death to America’ to gain access to the deadliest weapons on earth.

“The United States no longer makes empty threats,” he adds. “When I make promises, I keep them.

“As we exit deal, working with our allies to find a real, comprehensive solution to the Iranian threat, its missile program, terrorist activities worldwide and block its menacing activity in the Middle East.

“In the meantime, powerful sanctions go into effect. If the regime continues in its nuclear ambitions, it will have bigger problems than it has ever had.”
