The strongest sanctions ever imposed will be imposed by the United States on Iran, according to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
In a speech in Washington, the US diplomat said "Iran will fight to keep its economy alive" after the sanctions were imposed.
"We will put unprecedented economic pressure on the Iranian regime"
He also said he would work with the Pentagon and all regional allies "to prevent any aggression by Iran."
"Leaders in Tehran will have no doubt about our seriousness. "Iran will never again have carte blanche to dominate the Middle East."
It is recalled that US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran.
