The United States sanctioned 14 more Iranian officials
Brian Nelson, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, announced in a statement yesterday, Wednesday, that the Biden administration sanctioned 14 Iranian officials following the violent suppression of nationwide protests in Iran.
Part of the statement reads, forty days after the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, Iranians continue to bravely protest against brutal repression and internet shutdowns.
The United States is imposing new sanctions on Iranian officials overseeing organizations involved in violent crackdowns and killings, including those of children, as part of our commitment to hold all levels of the Iranian government accountable for its repression. It is worth noting that these sanctions target commanders of the Revolutionary Guards and intelligence officials. Source: NBC News.
