WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Saturday (Jun 22) that the United States would impose “major” new sanctions on Iran in two days. Further sanctions on Iran will definitely 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.
However, Trump has not ruled out military action against Iran completely. ‘Military action is still on the table’, He said. (Agencies)
