US sanctions more Iranian officials for protest crackdown

WASHINGTON, 24 November 2022, (TON): The United States imposed sanctions on three Iranian officials on Wednesday for their role in the crackdown on protests in Kurdish-populated regions of the country.
Treasury Undersecretary Brian Nelson said “the Iranian regime is reportedly targeting and gunning down its own children, who have taken to the street to demand a better future,” in a statement.
Nelson said “the abuses being committed in Iran against protesters, including most recently in Mahabad, must stop.”
