US President Donald Trump has signed executive orders to reinstate the "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran, withdraw the US from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), and cut funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Fox News reported.

Trump said he was "torn" on signing the order and admitted he was "unhappy to do it," noting that the executive order was very tough on Iran. "Hopefully, we're not going to have to use it very much," Trump told reporters Tuesday (US Local Time), as reported by Fox News. The order directs the Treasury Department to execute "maximum economic pressure" upon Iran through a series of sanctions targeting the country's oil exports.
