President Donald Trump has reinstated a 'maximum pressure' campaign against Iran through an executive order, coinciding with a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The order instructs the Treasury Department to impose sanctions on Iran's oil exports. Lawmakers, including Sens. Lindsey Graham and John Fetterman, have introduced a resolution affirming that all options should remain on the table in dealing with Iran's nuclear threat. Strict sanctions were reimposed on Iran after Trump withdrew from the Iran deal in 2018, but he has expressed optimism about securing a new nuclear deal with Iran.
