Trump is planning to intensify sanctions and apply “maximum pressure” on Iran, reported The Wall Street Journal.
According to sources familiar with Trump's team's plans, he wants to minimize Iran's income from oil sales and isolate the country both diplomatically and financially.
WSJ's interlocutors also mentioned that the Iranian leadership is suspected of plotting an assassination against Trump, which could affect his policy.
Sanctions might be applied to Chinese ports importing Iranian oil. One of WSJ's interlocutors said such measures could be disastrous for the Iranian oil industry.
