ALBAWABA - In reaction to Iran's latest missile launch on Tel Aviv, the White House has imposed more sanctions on the country. The goal of these actions, according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, is to stop Iran from funding its missile programs and supporting terrorist groups.
Iran's so-called "ghost fleet," which is used to carry illegal oil across international markets, is the explicit aim of the sanctions, according to Sullivan's statement. The restrictions are intended to further limit Iran's access to financial resources, he said.
Sullivan also pointed out that there may have been a large number of civilian deaths from the missile strike, which occurred in one of Israel's most populous locations. However, the assault was neutralized as a result of the joint efforts of Israeli and American armed forces.
Earlier on Friday, Donald Trump has asked for military vehicles and planes, citing worries over a possible "Iran threat."
Trump's concerns about the potential for an Iranian assassination attempt are highlighted by this request, which was made public by correspondence between his campaign staff and the US Secret Service.
The Washington Post reported that Trump's campaign manager, Susie Wiles, emailed Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe to suggest that military resources were required to assist Trump's campaign trip. "Iran might still pose a risk of an assassination attempt," the campaign team said, citing a government briefing that led them to request military support.
