The US will continue to sanction buyers of Iranian oil and those that do business with the country's Revolutionary Guards, US Treasury Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelker has said. Speaking at a conference in Washington on Wednesday, Ms Mandelker, who is also deputy secretary of state, said sanctions were being imposed because Iran was "continuing its destabilising activities across the Middle East". Meanwhile, in retaliation for the US-imposed sanctions, Iran has reduced its commitments to the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. In a bid to save the deal, France has suggested offering Iran $15bn of credit lines until the end of the year if it complies with the nuclear deal.
