The Iranian regime already faces tough economic sanctions from the US.
Former US president Barrack Obama and several US allies had agreed a deal with the country in 2015 which lifted many sanctions in return for Iran agreeing to limit its nuclear programme.
However, Trump pulled out of that deal in 2018, calling it "defective at its core, and reimposed all US sanctions on Iran.
During Joe Biden's term as US president, he made some attempts to reinstate the Obama-era deal, but this did not happen.
In April this year, the Trump administration launched a wave of sanctions on foreign banks and firms doing business with Tehran after it became clear its military operations had not caused Iran's regime to surrender.
