President Donald Trump is set to restore his 'maximum pressure' sanctions campaign on Iran in a bid to eliminate the country's illicit oil exports. An impending executive order will reverse the Biden administration's lax sanctions enforcement that brought Tehran more than $140 billion in profits. The order will kickstart an administration-wide effort to reinstall 'maximum economic pressure on Iran,' aimed at driving Iran's oil exports to zero. The effort fulfills a Trump campaign promise to target Iran's financial networks and continues a policy he pursued during his first stint in the White House when he abandoned the 2015 nuclear accord and slapped a bevy of sanctions on Tehran's regional terror proxies.
