The sanctions are indeed coming,” Netanyahu said in a statement released by his office. On Friday, Washington confirmed it was going ahead with a second round of sanctions set to take effect on Monday. Netanyahu said the effect of the first round of sanctions reintroduced in August “were already being felt”. The European Union, France, Britain and Germany — all signatories to the 2015 deal with Iran — have condemned the US move to renew its sanctions on Iran. Washington says it wants a new deal with Tehran, curtailing its regional interventions and missile programme — demands which have been flatly rejected by Iran.
