WASHINGTON — The US Treasury Department unveiled new human rights sanctions Monday on several senior Iranian officials and what it described as a slush fund for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The sanctions mark the Biden administration's latest effort to hold Iran accountable for its violent crackdown on the anti-government protests, which erupted in mid-September over the death in morality police custody of 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini.
