U.S. President Donald Trump signs directive to put Iran under "maximum pressure" for malign behavior.

Analyst: New Iran policy is "qualitatively different" from what Trump pursued in his first term.

Iran 's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responds to Trump 's new policy Friday , saying negotiating with the United States "is neither rational, nor intelligent, nor honorable".

Trump 's first administration had tried to stop such evasion by Iran , a former envoy says.

Another new feature of Trump 's pressure campaign is its order to rescind sanctions waivers related to Iran ’s Chabahar port project.

Jason Brodsky , policy director of U.S. advocacy group United Against Nuclear Iran , expects to see an “enhanced” maximum pressure campaign that is tailored to “changed geopolitical realities of 2025 , rather than to 2018”.
