Granted a visa it seems to speak at the u. N. In new york. The United States has announced new sanctions on iran that include the Iranian Central Bank also targeted here on the National Development fund of iran and. Iranian Company Officials are saying that its used to conceal financial transfers for Iranian Military says the President Donald Trump says he prefers financial sanctions as opposed to the use of military action in order to prevent iran from developing nuclear weapons. We have just sanctioned the Arabian National bank that is their central Banking System and its going to be. At the highest level of sanctions we are continuing the maximum Pressure Campaign this is the last remaining source of funds so both the central bank of iran and israel well as the National Development fund which is their Sovereign Wealth Fund will be cut off from our Banking System so this will mean no more funds going to the r. G. C. Were to fund terror and this is on top of our Oil Sanctions and our Financial Institutions our actions in a very major factor is what we do these are the highest sanctions ever imposed on a country weve never done it to this level. Well mike hanna joins us now from washington and mike on the face of it these sanctions look its all theyre all positive President Trumps maximum Pressure Campaign on iran but on the other hand does it signal that he would prefer not to take any military action and to escalate recent tensions and perhaps a different sort of way. Well it does appear that hes intent on ratcheting up economic pressure sensually these new sanctions are layered over a series of sanctions that the Trump Administration has imposed on iran in recent months or indeed since the u. S. Unilaterally pulled out of the Iranian Nuclear deal last may difficult to tell at this particular point exactly what impact these latest sanctions will have its not particularly clear how much business the Iranian Central Bank called software and fund does with the United StatesBanking System so that will play out in the days and weeks ahead but as you mentioned the fact that President Trump is taking today to announce new layers of sanctions against iran could perhaps indicate that he is continuing to back away from any military action intent on letting this economic pressure this wretched up economic pressure begin to take its effect and of course this comes ahead of. The United Nations and we know that there have been efforts led by the french president to manual macron to try and bring the u. S. And iran to the table or to at least reach a negotiated solution of this i mean with the imposition of these new sanctions that seems further away than ever. Well this is something that needs to play into it as well with regard to what type of action President Trump might take now weve heard from the secretary of state for example in the course of this week that President Trump prefers to continue imposing economic sanctions rather than resort to military force but there is another factor delaying a ultimate decision by President Trump on this issue and that is his desire to form some kind of alliance in terms of dealing with the iranian question now we do know that hes earmarked to the u. N. General Assembly Next Week as you mention to talk to various allies in ways in which a united front can be certain in terms of dealing with the rain issue in terms of placing greater economic pressure on iran now thats going to be a very difficult process indeed given the fact that the u. S. Unilaterally walked away from the nuclear deal angering and worrying many off its allies who signed that particular deal with that the question of whether or not he may meet in reining in leaders still well President Trump is on record as saying that hes prepared to meet the iranian leader the iranian president without any preconditions iran continues to say such a meeting is simply not going to happen while these sanctions remain in place thank you very much mike hanna in washington.
