Former US President Donald Trump has reintroduced his "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran through a new executive order, aiming to cut off Iranian oil exports and weaken its nuclear programme. Trump also issued a strong warning that Iran would face total destruction if it attempted to assassinate him. His remarks follow reports of an alleged Iranian plot against him and increased tensions between Iran and the West. The effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain, as previous sanctions failed to halt Iran’s nuclear advancements.
