Australia Imposes New Sanctions on Iran
Sydney. Australia has imposed new sanctions on Iran. Its Foreign Minister Penny Wong has announced new sanctions and travel bans against Iran.
Australia has imposed sanctions on seven individuals and four entities in Iran. Australia alleges that Iran has continuously subjected its citizens to brutal oppression and increased regional instability.
A statement issued by Wong mentioned that the Iranian regime has killed thousands of its own citizens and collectively arrested peaceful protesters. According to her, the seven sanctioned individuals and four entities include senior officials and bodies involved in violence against women and children. Australia has also targeted Iran's so-called shadow banking system.
It has been alleged that through this system, Iran supports groups like Hamas, operates a ballistic missile program, and engages in other destabilizing activities. These new sanctions come after the United States and the United Kingdom announced new sanctions on Iranian individuals and entities on Monday.
The US says these sanctions are part of its plan to deprive Iran of financial resources necessary for its weapons program, terrorist support groups, and nuclear ambitions.
