US President Donald Trump warned on Thursday that any country or entity purchasing oil from Iran will be barred from doing business with the United States. Speaking about new sanctions imposed a day earlier, he said the move targets Iran’s alleged ability to fund militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Trump claimed that during his previous term, Iran had no money to support such groups, but under the previous administration, the country regained access to funds. He insisted that sanctions would restore pressure, saying Iran was previously “just about to bust.” “These attacks wouldn’t have happened,” he said, referring to violence that resurged since October 7, 2023.
