US President Donald Trump has said he is imposing hard-hitting new sanctions on Iran, including on the office of the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Mr. Trump said the additional sanctions were in response to the shooting down of a US drone and other issues.
He said Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's highest authority, was singled out because he was ultimately responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime.
Tensions between the two countries have been escalating in recent weeks.
Iran is already feeling the burden after the US reinstated sanctions last year when it pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal.
