Trump signs executive order imposing financial sanctions against Iranian leaders

President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order imposing financial sanctions on Iranian leaders, according to pool reports from the White House. "We will continue to increase pressure on Tehran," he said. "I think a lot of restraint has been shown by us but that doesn't mean we're going to show it in the future," Trump said, a reference to his decision not to strike Iran militarily after the country shot down a U.S. drone.
