US plans to reimpose sanctions on Iran

US Treasury department
The United States is planning to reimpose sanctions on Iran, said US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday, ahead of President Donald Trump's decision on whether to extend sanctions relief on Iran under the 2015 nuclear deal.


"I am expecting new sanctions on Iran. We continue to look at them. We've rolled them out," Mnuchin told reporters at a White House briefing Thursday afternoon.

Mnuchin's remarks came as the world is waiting for Trump to decide if he will reimpose sanctions on Iran, a move that may endanger the landmark Iran nuclear deal.

Trump's decision was expected to be made at a "decision meeting" on Thursday, said US State Department spokesperson Stephen Goldstein.
