- On Wednesday, three Iranian security officials were sanctioned by the Treasury Department.
- The imposed sanctions follow the regime’s crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran, reportedly resulting in the arrests of thousands and the deaths of hundreds of demonstrators.
- “The abuses being committed in Iran against protestors, including most recently in Mahabad, must stop,” said Brian Nelson, the undersecretary of the Treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.
