President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order imposing"hard-hitting" new sanctions on Iran in response to the downing of an unmanned U.S. drone last week.
"We do not seek conflict with Iran or any other country," Trump added."I can only tell you we cannot ever let Iran have a nuclear weapon." Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have grown since Trump pulled the U.S. out of the multilateral Iran nuclear deal that had been brokered during the Obama administration. Some sanctions that had been lifted under that deal snapped back into effect after the U.S. pulled out.
