Trump administration officials have been engaged in a global effort with international partners to choke off all Iranian oil exports and further squeeze the Islamic Republic’s economy as protestors swarm the streets to express anger over the regime’s continued support for global terror groups.
Senior Trump administration officials have been working overtime in Europe and Asia to gather support for its push to enforce harsh sanctions on Iran in a reversal of the Obama administration’s efforts to spark investment in Iran, particularly its oil sector.
An interagency team of State and Treasury Department officials “have been explaining the new direction of our policy to our allies, working to garner their support for it,” according to a senior State Department official who briefed reporters on Tuesday. “We’re going to isolate streams of Iranian funding and looking to highlight the totality of Iran’s malign behavior across the region.”
