Iran to Impose Sanctions on American Individuals and Firms: Spokesman

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday that Tehran is considering a plan to put a number of American individuals and companies on a sanction list in reaction to the fresh sanctions recently imposed by Trump on the Islamic Republic.

According to a report by IFP, Qassemi said in his weekly press conference that Iran is examining placing some American individuals and institutions on a sanction list in reaction to the Trump administration’s recent “unfair and wrongful” bans against the Islamic Republic.

The sanctions, he said, will be targeting those assisting Takfiri [extremist] terror groups such as ISIS and the groups that contribute to the Israeli regime’s aggression against Palestinians.
