Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong has announced news sanctions on seven Iranian individuals and four entities, due to Tehran’s “ongoing brutal oppression of its people and destabilisation of the region”, Al Jazeera reports.
Wong said in a statement that the Iranian “regime massacred thousands of its own citizens and carried out mass arrests of peaceful protesters”.
“The seven individuals and four entities sanctioned include senior officials and entities involved in these horrific acts, including violence against women and children,” she said.
