On Monday , the British government announced the imposition of additional sanctions against the Iranian Revolutionary Guards , as part of new restrictions on Tehran linked to human rights violations.

"The Iranian regime is responsible for the brutal suppression of the Iranian people and for exporting bloodshed around the world. That is why we have over 300 sanctions imposed on Iran, including the entire Revolutionary Guard," Secretary of State James Cleverly said in a statement.

He pointed out that the procedure comes in coordination with the United States and the European Union, without providing additional details.

During the past months, several Western parties, led by Washington, London and Brussels, imposed a series of sanctions on Tehran in response to the Iranian authorities' "suppression" of protest movements that followed the death of Mahsa Amini in September after she was arrested by the morality police in Tehran on the grounds of not adhering to the strict rules of dress. in the Islamic Republic.

The British Foreign Office statement, on Monday, indicated that more than 70 Iranian officials and entities are subject to an asset freeze and travel ban by the United Kingdom, as of October.

He pointed out that the latest batch of sanctions includes four military commanders in the Revolutionary Guards responsible for the "violent suppression" of protest movements in four provinces: the central province, Kermanshah, West Azerbaijan and Khuzestan.

The statement indicated that the IRGC, at the direction of these commanders, "fired at unarmed demonstrators," which led to deaths, "including children."

Iran has previously responded to such measures by including persons and entities on its sanctions list, including preventing them from visiting the Islamic Republic and freezing any assets they may have on its soil.

Several Western parties, led by Washington, London and the European Union, expressed their support for these moves, which Iran considered "interference" in its internal affairs.
