Trump administration to reinstate all Iran sanctions
https://bbc.in/2QcIiYYThe Trump administration is to reinstate all US sanctions on Iran that were removed as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.
However, eight unnamed countries will not be penalised by the US for continuing to import Iranian oil.
President Donald Trump withdrew from the deal in May, describing it as "defective at its core".
The agreement saw Iran limit its controversial nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

The UK, France, Germany, Russia and China were also parties to the 2015 accord and have stuck to it, saying they will set up a new payment system to maintain business with Iran and bypass US sanctions.
