U.S. President Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order resuming a “maximum pressure” campaign on the Islamic Republic of Iran, a U.S. official told Reuters on Tuesday

The order is reportedly aimed at denying the Iranian regime all paths to a nuclear weapon and countering Tehran’s malign regional influence, the official stated.

The order directs U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to impose maximum economic pressure, including via sanctions and enforcement mechanisms on those violating existing measures, per Reuters.

President Trump said he signed it very reluctantly. He would rather a reasonedv and negotiated peace than an enforced one. But he said the current situation in Iran has left him with no option but to use economic force. He stated emphatically that there is no way in which Iran will be allowed to become a nuclear state.
