In a decisive response to the ongoing crackdown on peaceful protests in Iran, the US Treasury has announced a new round of sanctions targeting Iranian officials and security leaders implicated in repression efforts. Secretary Bessent highlighted that these actions aim to support the courageous people of Iran, stating that Iranian leaders are transferring substantial amounts of money out of the country amidst increasing unrest. The sanctions specifically focus on individuals accused of coordinating violence against demonstrators and come as the death toll from the protests surpasses 2,600. The US will utilize every tool at its disposal to address the severe human rights violations occurring in Iran.
