The article reports on the decision of the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to re-impose economic sanctions against Iran that were lifted under a 2015 nuclear accord. Trump urged the government of Iran to shut down its nuclear enrichment efforts, curb its weapons program and end its support of brutal governments or uprisings in the Middle East. The decision is expected to worsen relations between the U.S. and European allies.
