President Donald Trump said Saturday that the United States would impose "major" new sanctions on Iran in two days -- a move sure to exacerbate tensions with the Islamic republic inflamed by the downing of a US spy plane.
Trump tamped down the threat of military action on Friday, when he called off retaliatory strikes at the last minute because the response was not "proportionate" to the drone's destruction over the Strait of Hormuz.
Now, he has set a timetable for fresh punitive economic measures to heap more pressure on an Iranian economy already reeling from the sanctions in place since Trump withdrew from an international nuclear deal with Tehran.
"We are putting major additional Sanctions on Iran on Monday," Trump tweeted.....snip~

Not only are we going to hit Iran with new sanctions we also have attacked Iran thru Cyber attacks on their weapons systems. In return Iran is trying to increase their cyber attacks on the US.
The sanctions being increased is really going to inflict more pain for Iran to experience. Iranian politicians had a meeting after they found out about the sanctions and cyber attack.....in Unity they chanted Death to America.
