The European Union announced fresh sanctions on Iran’s security forces as Tehran continues its crackdown against protesters and resumed air strikes on northern Iraq.

The EU sanctioned the police officers involved in the arrest of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, the Kurdish-Iranian woman whose death in detention in September sparked some of the biggest protests in Iran since the 1979 revolution.
