The US has imposed sanctions on the “architects of the Iranian regime’s brutal crackdown on peaceful demonstrators”.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the US Treasury Department also said it was taking action against the shadow banking networks that “allow Iran’s elite to steal and launder revenue generated by the country’s natural resources”.<\/p>\n
