US to impose further sanctions on Iran; Pompeo in Saudi Arabia for talks

US President Trump says he will impose fresh sanctions on Iran on Monday.

Tensions between the US and Iran are high after the Trump administration accused the Islamic Republic of shooting down an unmanned US drone.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has travelled to Saudi Arabia for talks about how to counter what the State Department describes as "malign Iranian influence in the region".
