Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called the start of new US sanctions against his country's main enemy Iran a "historic day" that will reduce Tehran's "aggression" in the region.

"Today is a historic day," Netanyahu told lawmakers from his Likud party, according to his office.

"Today is the day the US under President (Donald) Trump's leadership imposed extremely harsh sanctions on Iran, the harshest sanctions imposed on Iran since the effort to curb its aggression began."
