Iran Mulling Sanctions on 26 US Officials
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian parliament plans to impose a series of tough sanctions against 26 US officials for violations of human rights.
Rapporteur of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazzem Jalali said the 26 US officials have perpetrated crimes that amounted to blatant violation of human rights in Iraq, Afghanistan and other parts of the world.
He further underlined that the US officials have escalated terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan by violence in the name of campaign against terrorism and some of them abetted drug trafficking.
Jalili did not mention the type of these punitive measures, but stressed that once the Iranian legislative body approves the plan, the US officials will be sanctioned and punitive measures will be envisaged for ignoring human rights in Iraq and Afghanistan and the other parts of the world.
Jalili said that the parliament would adopt its final decision on this issue on Tuesday.
The United States and its Western allies have already slapped sanctions on a number of Iranian officials over their involvement in the country's controversial nuclear program and alleged violations of human rights.
