US will restore sanctions against Iran within 180 days

The US Treasury Department will restore economic sanctions against Iran within 180 days, according to the agency's website.

Part of the sanctions will be restored by August 6, that is, in 90 days. These include restrictions on the purchase of US dollars by the Iranian government and on commodity trading, as well as sanctions against Iran's auto industry. After 180 days, by November 4, sanctions against the oil, energy and banking sectors of Iran will come into force.

• US President Donald Trump announced on May 8 that he was pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and reimposing sanctions on the country. Iran and European states announced their intention to keep the deal despite the US decision.
• Iran agreed in 2015 to freeze its nuclear program after negotiations with the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. In January 2016, part of the international sanctions were lifted from Iran.
