Special US Sanctions Against Iran
The United States Department of the Treasury, in a statement referencing the 40th day since the tragic death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s morality police, has announced the imposition of new and special sanctions against Iranian individuals and organizations.
In this sanction program, various officials across Iran who manage different organizations and structures have been targeted.
High-ranking officers of the Revolutionary Guard, prison officials across the country, especially in the Kurdistan province, and security officials managing cyber activities have been sanctioned. Events in the Sistan and Baluchestan province have been given a special section in the Treasury Department’s statement, and senior administrative officials of the province and the high-ranking commander of the Revolutionary Guard in Sistan and Baluchestan are on the sanctions list.
This particular development indicates an interesting program by the US sanctions study structure, which has identified Iran’s intermediate administrative, political, and enforcement structures through various methods.
