Without offering specifics, the president says he is increasing sanctions as Washington accuses Tehran of downing a U.S. drone and attacking foreign-owned oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.
Pointing to a U.S. military video, Trump maintained: "Iran did do it." Meanwhile, the president of the Japanese company operating one of the tankers says he doesn't believe a mine or torpedo was used.
Pompeo said Iran is using "terror, bloodshed and extortion" in an attempt to pressure the U.S. to ease what he described as a "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran.
