(Arutz Sheva) US President Donald Trump said this week that his goal in sanctioning Iran is world peace.

“The Iran sanctions have officially been cast,” he tweeted. “These are the most biting sanctions ever imposed, and in November they ratchet up to yet another level.”

“Anyone doing business with Iran will NOT be doing business with the United States. I am asking for WORLD PEACE, nothing less!”

Trump signed an executive order officially reinstating U.S. sanctions against Iran on Monday. Additional sanctions will be imposed on November 4, targeting Iran’s oil and shipping industries.
