Washington, USA (HRNW)- The U.S. Department of the Treasury has announced sweeping sanctions against high-ranking Iranian officials, including Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security. The move comes as a response to the “brutal crackdown” on peaceful protesters in Iran, where thousands have reportedly been killed or injured. Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that the U.S. will use all tools to target those behind “tyrannical oppression.” President Trump also stated today that he has received assurances that planned executions of protesters have been halted, though he remains vigilant.
