The decision will take place the same day Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, the first foreign leader to visit during the president’s second term in office.

The Tuesday memorandum will reinstitute the sanctions Trump put in place during his first term, along with new enforcement mechanisms, to drive Iran’s oil exports down to “zero,” according to Reuters.

On the campaign trail, Trump frequently accused former President Joe Biden of taking a weak stance with Iran, and members of the 2024 transition team said the president planned to reinstate his past Iran policies shortly after entering office, including strict sanctions legislation aimed at crippling Iran’s economy in efforts to constrain its nuclear program and ballistic capabilities.

Mick Milroy, a former Trump Pentagon official, told the Wall Street Journal late last year that a plot by the Iranian government to assassinate Trump, uncovered during the Biden years, could be a driving factor behind the president’s plans for Iran.

“People tend to take that stuff personally,” Mulroy said. “If he’s going to be hawkish on any particular country, designated major adversaries, it’s Iran.”

U.S. allies, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, have indicated that they have plans to “snap-back” Trump-era sanctions on Tehran.

Trump’s previous directive coincided with his 2018 decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an agreement brokered by the Obama administration and Tehran to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for concessions.

At the time, Trump called the deal “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.”

Senior administration officials briefing reporters on Netanyahu’s visit to the White House said Tuesday morning that the two leaders would discuss plans for building on the Gaza ceasefire and promoting “regional normalization,” adding that the Gaza war significantly weakened Iran’s proxy forces throughout the Middle East.

“The Iranian regime is at its weakest point in decades,” one senior administration official said. “This would not have been possible had President Trump not been elected.”
