U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on April 16 that she intends to hit Iran with new sanctions in coming days due to its unprecedented attack on Israel, and it could seek to reduce Iran's capacity to export oil.
"With respect to sanctions, I fully expect that we will take additional sanctions action against Iran in the coming days," Yellen said, adding that Iran's oil exports remain "in focus as a possible area that we could address."
