Benjamin Netanyahu said in parliament on Monday that the Trump administration's decision to restore sanctions was already taking effect. He called the measure "a great day for the state of Israel. "
Israel has fiercely opposed Iran's 2015 nuclear agreement, of which the United States withdrew this year, saying the agreement did not stop Iran's regional military activities.
The new sanctions against the shipping, financial and energy sectors of Iran will come into effect on Monday. The United States says the sanctions are not intended to overthrow the government, but to persuade it to radically change its policies, including its support for regional militant groups and its development of far-reaching ballistic missiles.

Hua says: "We regret this decision of the United States."
He added that the international community opposes unilateral sanctions such as those presented by the United States.
He also said that China supported the nations that promised to keep the agreement alive despite the withdrawal of the United States, and said Iran has been "strictly complying with its obligations" under the agreement.
Hua urged all parties to take into account "long-term interests, fulfill their obligations and responsibilities and choose to be on the right side of the story."

The Iranian authorities say that the country is being attacked by a cyber attack.
The Minister of Telecommunications, Mohammad Javad Azeri Jahromi, and his deputy, Hamid Fatahi, tweeted about the attack on Monday, the same day that US sanctions were resumed in the country once the nuclear agreement was lifted.
They blamed Israel for the attack and said it aimed at Iran's communications infrastructure, without giving further details.
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment.
Iran previously faced a computer virus called Stuxnet, which destroyed thousands of centrifuges involved in Iran's nuclear program in 2011. It is believed that Stuxnet is a US and Israeli creation, although none of the countries has acknowledged being behind the attack.
General Gholam Reza Jalali, head of the country's military unit in charge of combating sabotage, said last week that President Hassan Rouhani's cell phone was tapped recently.

Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi says the Iranians "have experienced broader sanctions" and that "they are not a new issue."
He also called for the sanctions that went into effect on Monday "unsuccessful" and part of the propaganda of the United States and the psychological war against Iran.
He stated that the sanctions would be counterproductive and against the United States and that "many countries in Europe to Russia and China have opposed the sanctions".
The sanctions put an end to all the economic benefits of the United States that the United States granted to Tehran for its nuclear agreement of 2015 with the world powers and, in particular, they are directed to the vital oil industry of Iran.

Iran welcomed the re-imposition of US sanctions with air defense exercises and President Hassan Rouhani's recognition that the nation faces a "war situation."
Events heighten tensions in the Middle East as the US maximalist approach to the Islamic Republic takes hold.
The sanctions put an end to all the economic benefits that the United States granted to Tehran for its 2015 nuclear agreement with the world powers, although Iran for now continues to respect the agreement that limited it to enriching uranium. Although for now they do not threaten to resume further enrichment, Iranian officials in recent months have made a point to threaten that they could resume at any time faster than before.
The new US sanctions particularly damaged Iran's vital oil industry, a crucial source of foreign exchange for its anemic economy. Its national currency has plummeted in the last year, which has triggered the prices of everything from mobile phones to drugs.
