Iran Sanctions More US Officials Over Soleimani Assassination
Iran has imposed sanctions on dozens of United States officials, many of them from the military, adding to its blacklist of individuals whom it says played a role in the 2020 assassination of its top general, Qassem Soleimani.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Central Command chief Kenneth McKenzie, Pentagon officials, and commanders in several US bases across the region are among individuals targeted by the sanctions.
The sanctions are largely symbolic as the named individuals are not thought to have assets which could be seized by Iranian authorities.
