Imposing Sanctions With Respect to Iran

What it means

This order imposes sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader, the Supreme Leader's Office, and individuals appointed by them. It blocks their U.S. assets and prohibits financial transactions with them, while also restricting their entry into the United States.

Expected impact

• Increased economic pressure on Iran's leadership and government institutions
• Potential reduction in Iran's ability to finance activities deemed destabilizing by the U.S.
• Possible diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and countries that maintain relations with Iran
• Financial institutions worldwide may become more cautious about transactions involving Iranian officials
• Could contribute to Iran's economic isolation and impact ordinary Iranian citizens indirectly
