US slaps new sanctions on Hamas, vows to keep pressure on Iran
[IsraelTimes] Washington blacklists 15 individuals and entities it says help finance terrorist operations; Mnuchin reiterates Trump’s openness to meet Iranian counterpart with no conditions.

The United States on Tuesday announced sanctions against a "wide range" of terrorist groups and their supporters, including the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip’s Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, and vowed to keep up pressure on the Islamic Theocratic Republic despite the departure of the administration’s most vociferous anti-Tehran hawk.

A US Treasury Department statement said the new sanctions were targeting 15 people and entities linked to Hamas, al-Qaeda, Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
and the IRGC.

US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told news hounds the measures were designed to "starve snuffies of resources they need to attack the United States and our allies, and will hold foreign financial institutions who continue to do business with them accountable."

The statement said the sanctions were being implemented by a special Executive Order by US President Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
One of the individuals named in the statement was Muhammad Sa’id Izadi, identified by the Treasury as "the chief of the Paleostinian Office of the IRGC-­QF Leb Corp."

Zaher Jabarin, the The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's satrapy in Asia Minor...
-based head of Hamas’ finance office, was also blacklisted by Washington on Tuesday.

"In his capacity as head of Hamas’ Finance Department, Jabarin was focused on developing a financial network in Turkey that would allow Hamas to raise, invest, and launder money prior to transferring it to Gaza and the West Bank," the statement said.

The blacklist included several other individuals and financial institutions based in Turkey that it said were providing services for Hamas, the IRGC, al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.

"You know we’ve done more sanctions on Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
than anybody, and it’s absolutely working," Mnuchin said. "I would say Secretary [of State Mike] Pompeo and myself and the president are completely aligned on our maximum pressure campaign."

The announcement of new sanctions comes one day before the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, which were carried out by al-Qaeda.

Pompeo said the designations add "further muscle to US counterterrorism efforts [and] will help to ensure that the deadly attacks of September 11th that occurred 18 years ago this week are never repeated on American soil."

The new sanctions are part of the Trump administration’s escalating campaign of economic and diplomatic measures against Iran since unilaterally withdrawing last year from the international accord.

In response, Iran has begun to increase enrichment activity as it pushes for Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
to bypass the US penalties.

On Monday, Trump expressed willingness to hold face-to-face talks with President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
"Sure, anything’s possible. They would like to be able to solve their problem," Rooters reported him telling members of the White House press corps. "We could solve it in 24 hours."

At the presser Tuesday, Mnuchin reiterated Trump’s openness to meeting with his Iranian counterpart.

"Now the president has made clear, he is happy to take a meeting with no preconditions, but we are maintaining the maximum pressure campaign," he told news hounds.
Al Ahram adds:
The targets also included a Brazil-based al Qaeda member, a Maldivian national who recruits for the Islamic State branch active in Afghanistan, and an operative of the Islamic State affiliate in the Philippines, the statement said.

Several exchange houses, and a jewellery company in southern Turkey, were also designated by the Treasury.

The sanctions mean any property the targets may have in the United States would be blocked and U.S. persons would generally be prohibited from having business dealings with them.

#1 Mnuchin reiterated Trump’s openness to meeting with his Iranian counterpart.

The POTUS's counterpart would be Khamenei.

'President' Rouhani is an underling bot de facto and de jure.
