US President Donald Trump<\/a> teased his 55 million Twitter followers about his latest action against Iran<\/a> in the style of a Hollywood movie poster – a picture of him with the words: Sanctions are Coming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Trump’s taunt wasn’t a joke, and it’s expected there will be real life consequences for millions of Iranians.<\/p>\n

The strict economic and trade penalties come into effect on Monday.<\/p>\n

The White House says the aim is to force Iran to abandon what it calls its “destructive” behaviour in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

But the move has been condemned by Russia<\/a>, China<\/a>\u00a0and many European allies. International investigators say Tehran is complying with the terms of the 2015 nuclear agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n
