President Donald Trump ordered the imposition of additional sanctions on Iran on Jan. 8 in response to missile strikes a day earlier, which targeted but didn’t harm any U.S. forces in Iraq.

“The United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior,” Trump, flanked by military officials, told reporters gathered at the White House.
