President Trump announces that he has applied new sanctions on Iran's central bank, days after the attack on a Saudi oil facility that the US has blamed on Tehran.
Washington President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has applied new sanctions on Iran's central bank, days after the attack on a Saudi oil facility that the US has blamed on Tehran.
Trump made the announcement as he prepares to meet with his national security council to weigh options for responding to the attack, which US officials say was carried out by drone and missiles and which affected 5% of the world's global oil supplies. Iran has denied responsibility. Yemen-based Houthi rebels, locked in an ongoing war for control of the country with Saudi Arabia and its allies, have said they are behind the attack.
