Trump signed the punitive financial measures in the Oval Office, calling it a &quot;strong and proportionate response to Iran&#039;s increasingly provocative actions.&quot; Repeating that &quot;never can Iran have a nuclear weapon,&quot; Trump said it was now up to Tehran to negotiate.

Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said in response to President Trump&#039;s announcement: &quot;Sanctioning Khamenei and his office, the epicenter of crime, corruption and terrorism in Iran, is spot-on and most imperative.

Asked what the U.S. strategy is respect to the threats posed by the Iranian regime, Vice President Pence said: &quot;What we want to do is stand with the Iranian people, thousands of which gathered outside the White House on Friday, and tens of thousands of which, took to the streets last year in communities across Iran, we want to stand with them to see Iran come forward, step to a future and embrace freedom.&quot; &quot;While we stand firmly against the Ayatollahs, we have the highest hopes for the Iranian people,&quot; he said. Vice President Pence added that for 40 years, the Iranian regime has &quot;propagated terror&quot;. &quot;They&#039;re the leading state sponsor of terror in the world. Those days must come to an end, and America is going to continue to stand, resolved, with the people of Iran for a better future for them,&quot; he said. Europeans Issue Warning to Iranian Regime Over Nuclear Deal Commitments France, Britain, and Germany have sent an official diplomatic warning to the Iranian regime about the serious consequences Tehran faces if it scales back its compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. Three diplomats said the European signatories to the deal lodged the diplomatic demarche on June 22. The Iranian regime has said it will not give the European powers more time beyond July 8 to save the nuclear deal. It has said it is ready to go through with a threat to enrich uranium to a higher level if Europe cannot shield Tehran from US sanctions. Pompeo Discusses Countering the Iranian Threat During UAE Visit The US Mission in the United Arab Emirates said on Monday that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussed countering the threat from the Iranian regime in the region with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. The mission had earlier tweeted that Pompeo will also discuss \u201cbuilding a global coalition to counter the world\u2019s largest state sponsor of terror\u201d during his visit to Abu Dhabi. A senior US State Department official earlier said the United States is building a coalition with its allies to protect Gulf shipping lanes by having \u201ceyes on all shipping\u201d, following attacks on oil tankers that Washington has blamed on the Iranian regime. Amnesty Launches Call to Save Iranian Juvenile&#039;s Life Amnesty International issued a call demanding urgent action taken to save the life of a juvenile on death row in Iran. Amnesty is expressing grave concern over the condition of Daniel Zeinolabedin, a juvenile in Iran\u2019s prison.
