By Xinhua and Agencies | China Daily | Updated: 2019-05-10 07:57

The White House announced on Wednesday that the United States is imposing sanctions targeting the iron, steel, aluminum and copper sectors of Iran, in a new bid to mount pressure on the Islamic republic, Xinhua News Agency reported.

"Today, I am signing an executive order to impose sanctions with respect to Iran's iron, steel, aluminum and copper sectors, the regime's largest nonpetroleum-related sources of export revenue," US President Donald Trump announced in a statement.

The sanctions targeted 10 percent of Iran's export economy, said the statement, adding that "Teheran can expect further actions unless it fundamentally alters its conduct".
