On this day in 2018, Trump reinstated sanctions on Iran after pulling out of JCPOA, and since then, Washington has aggressively pursued its failed 'maximum pressure' policy.

Iran continues to supply record amounts of oil to international customers despite US sanctions.

A US media report claimed that Washington paused new sanctions on Iran amid “maximum pressure” against the Islamic Republic.

The US reliance on coercion and pressure tactics—rather than result-oriented diplomacy with Tehran and its allies—is a strategic gamble destined to backfire

Iran has reiterated that direct negotiations with the United States are meaningless as long as a “maximum pressure” policy and military threats are in place.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran has yet to respond to a letter from President Donald Trump of the United States regarding a replacement for the 2015 nuclear deal.

Iran strongly condemns new US sanctions against the oil minister and some entities and vessels involved in the country's crude exports as a testament to Washington's "infringement of the law and hypocrisy."
