I had no idea the US announced more new sanctions following the ‘attack’! If these follow the explosion, that is about as cruel as you can get, and fully betrays the US agenda to starve Lebanon out regardless of the nature of the explosion itself. Unbelievable... Also shows just how ‘in the pocket’ of the Zionists the US puppet politicians really are. Disgusting. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. And if you’ve got a link handy on that announcement, feel free to share as I’d be interested in adding this travesty in a future post on the subject. I feel the pressure campaign against Lebanon will only intensify following the tragic decimation of their food supply, which is the opposite of what should be happening if we lived in a world where leaders’ actions matched their words of compassion following such disasters.

It hasn't been implemented yet but there are reports that it's in the works.
I think the Trump administration sees the current situation as opportunity to root-out Hezbolla. They should be lifting sanctions to help the Lebanese people not adding to their agony.

This article says that the sanctions will target corrupt members of government but if history tells us anything we know that additional sanctions will only exacerbate the problem at the moment.
Never let a good crisis go to waste, as they would say. Pompeo running out of countries and Iranian entities to sanction now, so he must have been excited with this ‘golden opportunity’. Just watching him speak makes me sick, he is an expert at telling lies and sure does love him his starvation sanctions... oh to see the day when he is out of there. But then he’d probably just be replaced with some other former cia head honcho.
Recently, the US tried to get a resolution passed at the UN Security council concerning extending the arms embargo on Iran and get this, they tried to justify the sanctions by citing Iranian violations of the 2015 Iran deal - the deal that the US walked away from! The resolution was defeated easily with many ambassadors commenting on the bullying and disgraceful behavior of the US.
