The Trump administration is imposing sanctions on 14 Iranian entities and individuals responsible for severe human rights abuses, censorship, and supporting sanctioned weapons proliferators.

President Trump will also announce that he is providing one more waiver on the Iran nuclear agreement while he simultaneously works with European partners to make key changes to the Iran nuclear agreement reached in 2015.
