US Imposes New Sanctions on IRGC and Iranian Entities

The United States imposed sanctions on five Iranian officials, including commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, for their roles in suppressing protests. Additionally, Defense Minister Israel Katz designated the Iranian State Bank Melli as a terrorist organization, claiming it aids in circumventing sanctions. The US Treasury also targeted 18 individuals linked to laundering Iranian oil revenues and designated Fardis Prison as a terror organization due to its treatment of women. This action reflects the Trump administration’s intensified pressure on Iran, emphasizing support for the Iranian people’s call for freedom and justice.
