The United States imposed increased sanctions on Iran

US President Donald Trump said today that the United States has already imposed new sanctions on Iran after a missile strike this week on Iraqi bases that include US military personnel, but gave no other details, saying, "It has already been increased.

Trump told reporters at the White House: "It was very severe but now it has increased significantly, it was approved by him with the Treasury a short time ago." Trump did not clarify the new sanctions and said that the Treasury would make a statement.

On Wednesday, the US President promised to "impose additional economic sanctions on the Iranian regime" after Iran launched missile strikes on bases in Iraq that were carried out in response to a US drone strike last week that killed the senior Iranian leader Qasim Soleimani.
