The administration of President Trump intends to restore all sanctions against Iran, which were canceled as a result of the 2015 agreement. The White House statement says that the sanctions will become the most stringent, ever acting against this country, and will be directed against sectors of the shipping, energy and banks of Iran.
However, new sanctions will not affect eight countries participating in the agreement with Iran, who can continue to import Iranian oil. The United States has left this agreement with Iran in May 2018.
Trump said then that it was damaged by American interests. Since then, the United States gradually returned the previously abolished sanctions. The measures declared by Washington, according to experts, will hit the leading sectors of the Iranian economy.
