Reuters quoted from the US officials on Monday that the first package of the US sanctions on Tehran will start on Tuesday dawn, including Iran's ability to buy dollars, gold, precious metals, steel and cars.

The officials, whose names were not mentioned by Reuters, said the United States would not grant exemptions or exceptions, but would consider any requests individually. "The goal of the American policy is not to change the regime in Iran, but to change the behavior of the Iranian government and to reach a new nuclear agreement."

The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the White House would issue a statement on Monday mentioning the details of the sanctions of the United States that is imposed on Iran again, saying that it would remain until Tehran would radically change its approach.
