More US sanctions against Iranian officials

The U.S. has slapped two more Iranian officials with sanctions to protest human rights violations in Iran.

Commander Mohammadreza Naqdi, the head of the Revolutionary Corps’ Basij Forces, and Tehran Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi have been added to the U.S. Treasury blacklist. Any American assets they have will be frozen, and both men are forbidden from carrying out any transactions in the U.S. They are also barred from receiving a visa to travel to the U.S.
