The United States imposes new sanctions on Iranian officials over protest crackdown

The United States has announced a new round of sanctions targeting Iranian officials and entities. The sanctions are aimed at individuals, including Larijani, accused of being involved in the government's crackdown on recent protests.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated the sanctions are intended to destabilize Iran's economy and fuel unrest. In response, Iran's Foreign Ministry called the new sanctions 'a form of revenge' against the Iranian nation.
