Overview
- Five senior figures, including Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani, were designated for directing the protest crackdown, with four regional IRGC and police commanders also named.
- The Treasury’s OFAC listed 18 people and entities accused of laundering oil and petrochemical revenues through front companies tied to Bank Melli and Shahr Bank in the UAE, Singapore and the UK.
- The State Department designated Fardis Prison for abuses against detained women, adding an institution‑level human‑rights action to the day’s measures.
- The designations freeze any U.S. assets, bar U.S. dealings, and warn foreign banks of secondary‑sanctions risk, as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to track overseas transfers by Iranian leaders.
- G7 foreign ministers condemned the violence and warned of further steps, while rights groups report death tolls exceeding 2,400 and verification remains constrained by internet blackouts.
