US Imposes Sanctions on Iranians for Alleged Assassination Plots Abroad

The US has imposed sanctions on an Iranian Revolutionary Guard official and others for their alleged involvement in plots to kill former national security adviser John Bolton and other officials around the world. The plots are part of ongoing efforts by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to avenge the 2020 US airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani. The sanctions accuse three people based in Iran and Turkey, a company affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force, and two senior officials of Iran’s Intelligence Organization in global plots to kill former US officials, journalists, and Iranian dissidents abroad. The sanctions block all access to the targeted people's US money and property and prohibit Americans and American firms from working with them.
