(CNN)The Trump administration is imposing new sanctions on Iran following attacks on US and allied troops earlier this week, Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced Friday.

"The President is issuing an executive order authorizing the imposition of additional sanctions against any individual owning, operating, trading with, or assisting sectors of the Iranian economy including construction, manufacturing, textiles, and mining," Mnuchin told reporters at the White House.

He noted those would be both primary and secondary sanctions and that the executive order allows the US to designate other sectors in the future.

Additionally, the US is announcing 17 specific sanctions against Iran's largest steel and iron manufacturers, three Seychelles-based entities, and a vessel involved in the transfer of products.

The actions, the administration says, will "cut off billions of support to the Iranian regime."

The administration is also sanctioning eight senior Iranian officials who were involved in Tuesday's strike, Mnuchin said.

The announcement, Mnuchin said, is "part of our commitment to stop the Iranian regime's global terrorist activities," noting that the sanctions will be in effect "until Iran stops its terrorist activities and commit to never having a nuclear weapon."

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

You killed their general they retaliated you punish their civilians. This is crazy

A terrorist country, the first and only country to used weapon of mass destruction on japan is calling others terrorist, which u agaist their interest u automatically be tag terrorist.
Nigerian supporting USA should know south American dominated by christain are also under American sanction.

once you don't do US's biddings, you'd be subjected to ridiculous stuff like "sanctions". pls can someone remind me who gave US the power to sanction any country at will?

lets all not be hypocritical here, is that not a low-key autocratic rule at display here?? democratic country my foot!!

America dictates to the world and we'd all be here shouting "freedom" BS. tueh!!

May God punish our leaders 10x.. instead of them building the country towards self sufficiency and an African Giant, such that overzealous countries like America and co. can bark at us and we'd give them the middle finger, they're all busy on a looting spree.

The American dream is amongst the best thing anyone can yearn for as far as I'm concerned, but her foreign policy is nothing to write home about.
and for you myopic individuals who are seeing these latest noise as religious ish, and are turning blind eyes to the latest American hegemony, they'd be a certain time when they'd come for you too. Karma is a bad bittch and will serve you all equally.

O He who plays the piper dictates the tune. I support president Trump fully on this. Iran will learn by force.
Trump should also beam his searchlight on Buhari

This Ish is getting seriously serious!!



Peace is all we need in the world.

I wonder why it's only the U.S. that can sanction countries. What of Russia?

SAY NO TO WAR!!

Btw,
It is funny how almost everyone on NL are now War Lord Experts and Veterans since the USA versus Iran war started.......

What an Interesting time to be alive!

Robot! You keep posting same stale thing on every thread.

Robot, Kindly don't injure yourself for notin o and stop jumping to every thread kiddo
GN!

This changes nothing. The Iranians have been under sanctions for decades and have been growing from strength to strength - just like Mother Russia.

Amerika on the other hand have been on a steady decline since the 90's.

Furthermore, the United Snakes is $23Trillion (while unofficial is $250Trillion) in debt and cannot repay foreign creditors even if they wanted to.

Below is an exposè of what led to the assassination of Qassem Soleimani.

The Deeper Story Behind the Assassination of Soleimani. Washington Threats to Engage in False flag Sniper Shootings. Iraq Prime Minister

The Iraqi prime minister, Adil Abdul-Mahdi, has revealed details of his interactions with Trump in the weeks leading up to Soleimani’s assassination in a speech to the Iraqi parliament. He tried to explain several times on live television how Washington had been browbeating him and other Iraqi members of parliament to toe the American line, even threatening to engage in false-flag sniper shootings of both protesters and security personnel in order to inflame the situation, recalling similar modi operandi seen in Cairo in 2009, Libya in 2011, and Maidan in 2014. The purpose of such cynicism was to throw Iraq into chaos.

Here is the reconstruction of the story:

[Speaker of the Council of Representatives of Iraq] Halbousi attended the parliamentary session while almost none of the Sunni members did.

This was because the Americans had learned that Abdul-Mehdi was planning to reveal sensitive secrets in the session and sent Halbousi to prevent this.

Halbousi cut Abdul-Mehdi off at the commencement of his speech and then asked for the live airing of the session to be stopped.

After this, Halbousi together with other members, sat next to Abdul-Mehdi, speaking openly with him but without it being recorded.

This is what was discussed in that session that was not broadcast: 

Abdul-Mehdi spoke angrily about how the Americans had ruined the country and now refused to complete infrastructure and electricity grid projects unless they were promised 50% of oil revenues, which Abdul-Mehdi refused.

The complete (translated) words of Abdul-Mahdi’s speech to parliament:

This is why I visited China and signed an important agreement with them to undertake the construction instead. Upon my return, Trump called me to ask me to reject this agreement. When I refused, he threatened to unleash huge demonstrations against me that would end my premiership.

Huge demonstrations against me duly materialized and Trump called again to threaten that if I did not comply with his demands, then he would have Marine snipers on tall buildings target protesters and security personnel alike in order to pressure me.

I refused again and handed in my resignation. To this day the Americans insist on us rescinding our deal with the Chinese.

After this, when our Minister of Defense publicly stated that a third party was targeting both protestors and security personnel alike (just as Trump had threatened he would do), I received a new call from Trump threatening to kill both me and the Minister of Defense if we kept on talking about this “third party”.

Nobody imagined that the threat was to be applied to General Soleimani, but it was difficult for Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi to reveal the weekslong backstory behind the terrorist attack.

Now, from this revelation, we are now getting a clearer picture of what really transpired at the inception of the Syrian Civil War - when the Amerikan Mainstream Media went berserk & reported that Bashar Al-Assad was killing the protesters with Snipers on Tall Government Buildings.

I have always known that the United Snakes of Amerika can NEVER EVER BE TRUSTED in anything.

If she gives you a dollar in aid, rest assured that she's getting $1Billion in return.

If she tells you she wants to help you fight Terrorism, rest assured that your Terror problem is about to multiply by 9000.

If she tells you China & Russia are your enemies, rest assured - that is the best time to embrace China & Russia.

If she tells you to devalue your currency & go borrow more money from the IMF & World Bank, you too - like a dundee & mumu, follow her advice and you'll end up like Zimbabwe & Venezuela in no time.

There are ofcourse the willing tools of the Empire planted in all spheres of our Government & NGOs to do the biddings of the Anglo-Zionist Empire; these are the people that MUST be eliminated (including their family members) if we ever want Nigeria to progress.

Whenever you read or watch in the news that The President of any Nation (Especially from The Arc of Resistance) has deployed Snipers to kill his protesting citizens, you now know where it is emanating from - Third Parties from the CIA, MOSSAD & MI6.

People of the world need to understand how to give the United Snakes of Amerika the middle finger whilst practicing excommunication of all of her propaganda & Psy-ops.

Amerikans are enmeshed in mass hysteria due to de-Amerikanization & de-dollarization across the world.

The whole history of the United Snakes is not one of good. It is one of evil. Of death and destruction, intimidation and persecution driven purely by greed via criminal capital accumulation.

The most useless Country in the world whose stock in trade is pillaging & subverting weak foreign Nations.

After Trump - The Orange Baboon & commander of the Twitter Armed Forces assassinated an high-ranking official of a Sovereign State on a foreign soil, he then sent them messages through the Swiss Embassy in Tehran (which has been acting on behalf of Amerika for decades) and also through the Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani - begging them not to retaliate in exchange for lifting sanctions on Iran - while at the same time chest-beating on Twitter to show strength & especially to deceive his gullible followers.

https://twitter.com/40_Ronda/status/1213253810728165376?s=20

The is the exact same policies & tactics the United Snakes employed against the Native Amerikan Indians - on whose blood Amerika was built.

Break treaties, assassinate leaders, and then annex their lands.

Then broker treaties again to allow time to re-arm and fortify.

Rinse and repeat.

If Qasem Soleimani was a terrorist, trust me - he would be having standing ovations in the Amerikan congress on a regular basis or even given a Nobel Prize.

And as for those gullible brainwashed Nigerians (who know next to nothing aside exhibiting their ignorance) in propagating the stupid lies being peddled by the Amerikan MSM that "IRAN MISTAKENLY SHOT DOWN" the Ukrainian Flight PS752 - This is year 2020, you should all RECEIVE SENSE & GROW UP!


WHO SHOT DOWN UKRAINIAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES FLIGHT PS752?

https://www.veteranstoday.com/2020/01/08/who-shot-down-ukrainian-international-airlines-flight-ps752/

useless sanction from a noise maker.... Iran fired missile at two of your military base without missile defense system stopping them yet you are firing worthless sanction... with all the sanctions Iranians still drive chevrolet and cadilac, use Iphones, they still use internet and hack US websites and still live a good life

The US knows they cant block Iran from smuggling and selling its oil to support its economy while these sanction last. The sanctions are like a joke. Iran has suffered countless sanctions for decades. But its biggest advantage at the moment is that The EU, Israel and some Arab countries including Iraq are not supporting the US in this.

Anything that will stop any form of terrorism is welcomed by me.

ideally, Iran is not suppose to possess any form of weapon

it's dangerous and risky for the whole world!!!

people that can blow up themselves all in the name of virgins not seen are not supposed to be in charge of deadly weapons as it now concerns the whole world.

Trump is truly an inspiration

Good one, Donald Trump! Keep them coming.
