"The Iranian regime has a choice: it can either do a 180-degree turn from its outlaw course of action and act like a normal country or it can see its economy crumble," Pompeo said at the news conference. President Trump in May announced the U.S. would pull out of the 2015 nuclear accord the Obama administration signed with Iran, citing Tehran’s failure to uphold its end of the bargain. The U.S. imposed the first round of sanctions on Iran in August and Monday began the second round of deeper punishments. "The Iranian regime has a choice: it can either do a 180-degree turn from its outlaw course of action and act like a normal country or it can see its economy crumble." “As the Iranian people suffer from fiscal mismanagement and a plummeting rial, the Iranian regime abuses the country’s banking system to enrich its elite and finance repressive state institutions,” Mandelker said.
