The Australian Government is today imposing further targeted financial sanctions on Iran in response to the regime's horrific use of violence against its own people.
Since 28 December 2025, the regime has massacred thousands of Iranians while attacking and arresting many thousands more for participating in peaceful protest.
The regime has imposed nationwide internet and telecommunications blackouts in an attempt to conceal the scale of its brutality.
The 20 individuals and 3 entities sanctioned today include senior officials and entities of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who are complicit in oppressing the Iranian people, violently suppressing domestic protests, and threatening lives both inside and outside Iran.
This announcement builds on the Australian Government's listing of the IRGC as a state sponsor of terrorism and our comprehensive framework of sanctions against Iran.
Today's action underscores our commitment to standing with the people of Iran alongside international partners against the Iranian regime's egregious campaign of oppression and destabilisation.
The Albanese Government has now sanctioned more than 200 Iranian individuals and entities and more than 100 IRGC-linked individuals and entities.
