The US introduced new sanctions against Iran

The US has imposed new sectoral sanctions against Iran. The corresponding decree was signed by President Donald Trump.

Restrictions were imposed against the manufacturing, textile, construction and mining sectors of the Iranian economy. Sanctions will be both primary and secondary - that is, for doing business with these companies, third parties will also be subject to sanctions.

The US has also imposed special sanctions against Iran's largest iron and steel producers. In addition, eight representatives of the country's leadership were subject to personal restrictions.

• Donald Trump announced new sanctions against Iran on January 8 in response to an Iranian attack on US military bases in Iraq.
