U.S. Sanctions Nine Iranians Linked To Khamenei; Tehran Announces New Violations Of Nuclear Deal

The United States has slapped sanctions on nine people connected to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, among them his chief of staff, one of his sons, and the head of Iran's judiciary.

The U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement on November 4 that Washington also sanctioned Iranian armed forces General Staff.

The Treasury's announcement on November 4 came as Tehran said it had further scaled back its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, saying it is now operating twice as many advanced centrifuges banned by the agreement.
