The EU on Thursday imposed sanctions on Iran’s interior minister, prosecutor general and regional Revolutionary Guard commanders over a deadly crackdown on mass protests.
The 27-nation bloc in total added 15 officials and six entities to its asset freeze and visa ban blacklist, according to the EU’s official journal.
The adoption of the sanctions comes as EU foreign ministers are expected separately to agree to add Iran’s Revolutionary Guards to the bloc’s list of “terrorist” organisations.
