The Trump administration on Monday announced new sanctions against Iran’s Armed Forces General Staff and nine individuals who have acted on behalf of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Among those targeted are Khamenei’s appointees in the Office of the Supreme Leader and the Judiciary. The U.S. blames Khamenei and his advisers for exporting terrorism and oppressing Iranian citizens. The sanctions freeze U.S.-based assets of the designated persons, and prohibit Americans from dealing with them. The action by the U.S. Treasury coincided with the 40th anniversary of Iranian militants seizing the U.S. embassy in Tehran.
