The Trump administration has sanctioned the top Iranian General for the murders of protesters who are against the regime.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

The Trump administration issued new sanctions on Friday against a top Iranian general who oversaw the killing of nearly 150 Iranian anti-regime protesters, according to U.S. officials.

The State Department applied new economic sanctions on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) brigadier general Hassan Shahvarpour for overseeing a recent assault on Iranian demonstrators who have taken to the streets in recent weeks to protest the regime’s downing of a Ukrainian civilian airliner.

The sanctions on Shahvarpour were issued as a result of the State Department’s Iran tip line, which has empowered Iranian citizens to document the regime’s human rights abuses and send on-the-ground testimonials directly to the Trump administration via a secure channel. More than 88,000 videos, pictures, and testimonials have been sent to the State Department since it established the network late last year.

“General Shahvarpour committed gross violations of human rights against protesters in Mahshahr,” Trump administration Iran envoy Brian Hook announced to reporters. “He oversaw the massacre of 148 helpless Iranians in the Mahshahr region last November.”

Previous sanctions on the regime have been said to have crippled the country’s economy and played a large roll in the anti-regime protests currently taking place.
