WASHINGTON (February 6, 2025)- Reuters reported that “U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a presidential memorandum reimposing a tough policy on Iran meant to block the country from achieving a nuclear weapon and to limit its oil exports.”
The New York Times quoted the President saying,“we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions to drive Iranian oil exports to zero and diminish the regime’s capacity to fund terror throughout the region and through the world.”
For more context on the matter, please consider Sina Azodi, professorial lecturer, is an expert on international relations of the Middle East, Iranian foreign policy, U.S.-Iranian relations, nuclear non-proliferation, Iran's nuclear program, and Iranian politics. Azodi's current research involves exploring the roots of the Iranian nuclear program.
