The United States will increase economic pressure against Iran through the transition to the Biden administration, according to State Department officials.

The Trump administration will implement “a steady stream of sanctions through the end of the administration” as a “continuation of our policy,” according to a senior State Department official.

Senior Trump administration officials are also warning the incoming administration against relaxing pressure against Iran. 

“If the pressure is not utilized, if it’s really discarded, that would be, I think, very foolish, even tragic,” said Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special representative for Iran and Venezuela, while traveling this week in Saudi Arabia.
