The UK has imposed new sanctions on several Iranian officials, including Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni and other military and judicial personnel. This action follows similar measures by the United States and the European Union amidst ongoing protests in Iran over the depreciation of the rial.

• Over 550 relevant sanctions have already been imposed on Iranian individuals and organizations by Britain, including the IRGC.
• Those sanctioned include Police Chief in Lorestan Province Mohammad Reza Hashemifar and Public Security Police Chief Seyed Majid Feiz Jafari.
• The sanctions come after weeks of protests in Iran that escalated into clashes, with Tehran blaming the unrest on the United States and Israel.
