The United States plans to impose new sanctions on Iran following its weekend attack on Israel. The attack, involving over 300 missiles, drones, and rockets, was in retaliation for a strike on Tehran's consulate in Damascus. The US will target Iran's missile and drone program, as well as the Revolutionary Guards and the Iranian defense ministry. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have indicated support for these measures. Despite the attack, most projectiles were intercepted, resulting in minimal damage.
