U.S. President Donald Trump took a tough line in his address to the nation<\/a> Jan. 8 in response to the Iranian airstrikes<\/a> on two U.S. bases in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Trump announced that he would impose more sanctions<\/a> on Iran. He said he believed that Iran would not resort to further aggressive action for the time being. He blamed his predecessor President Barack Obama for having concluded the 2015 nuclear deal<\/a> with Iran and for having dealt too gently with the country.<\/p>\n
