Why does the US sanction Iran?
The US has a long history of imposing sanctions on Iran, often citing concerns over its nuclear programme, human rights record, and support for regional proxy groups. Donald Trump's warning of 'TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences' for trading with Tehran reflects this ongoing pressure, aiming to curb Iran's influence and capabilities.
