Trump to impose new sanctions on Iran after Tehran’s retaliation

US President Donald Trump says his administration will impose new illegal sanctions on Iran and will ask the NATO military alliance to get more involved in West Asia following Iran’s retaliation for the US assassination of a top Iranian general.

Wie die Ahlulbayt Nachrichtenagentur ABNA berichtet, US President Donald Trump says his administration will impose new illegal sanctions on Iran and will ask the NATO military alliance to get more involved in West Asia following Iran’s retaliation for the US assassination of a top Iranian general.

According to Press TV, Trump made the comments from the White House on Wednesday after Iran launched more than a dozen missiles on two airbases in Iraq housing US troops.

Trump also called on Britain, Germany, France, Russia and China to break off from the 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran.

The US military carried out an airstrike on the direction of Trump at Baghdad’s international airport early on Friday, martyring Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and the second-in-command of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, as well as eight other companions.

Early on Wednesday, Iran responded to the martyrdom of Soleimani, by striking the American airbase of Ain al-Assad in Anbar province in western Iraq and another in Erbil, the capital of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

US officials have so far declined to release any information about the damage to their bases or casualties inflicted by the missile strikes.
