  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    Britain has announced travel bans and asset freezes against senior Iranian missile commanders [who launched attacks against Israel](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/18/israel-hamas-war-latest-news6/).

    A total of 13 individuals and entities, including the [leadership of Iran’s armed forces](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/16/vladimir-putin-iran-russia-ibrahim-raisi-talks-israel/) and the country’s defence minister, have been sanctioned in the latest action taken by the Government.

    [Lord Cameron, the Foreign Secretary](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/04/17/israel-has-made-decision-to-respond-to-iran-attack/), announced the action during the G7 summit in Italy, which he said showed “our unequivocal condemnation of Iran’s attack on a sovereign state”.

    Individuals sanctioned, including defence minister Brig Gen Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, will be subject to a travel ban and asset freezes.

    Among the entities sanctioned is the [Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/04/18/britain-wont-proscribe-iran-revolutionary-guard-terrorists/) (IRGC) Navy, one of Iran’s two naval forces, and the Khatemolanbia Central Headquarters, responsible for operational command of the nation’s armed forces.

    [The new sanctions came](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/03/09/lord-cameron-urged-stop-sniping-at-israel/) less than a week after the UK joined the US and France in helping Israel shoot down some of the 350 drones, missiles and rockets fired by Iran on Saturday.

  2. Someone shot at me and I’m like, ‘That is 10% of your paycheck, asshole.’

  3. Are they going to be the kind that have a real impact or like those imposed on Russia?

  4. > Izrael attacks Iran 

    > Iran gets sanctions

     I don’t like Iran too but is not fair.

  5. Yeah how dare they respond to having their embassy blown up in a third country. Everyone knows only western countries have the right to self defence! Always boggles my mind everyone else doesn’t just bend over and willingly accept getting violently shafted by Western Europe and North America.

  6. Why are so many people here siding with an Islamic dictatorship which sponsors terrorist attacks against western interests? Pretty strange

  7. I think they mixed up what country they should be sanctioning.

  8. UK is a toy of Zionists. Once it was master of them but now a simple tool. Brexit showed us all how noob UK is now. Age of that country has passed. It’s a shadow of other 2, USA and Israel.

  9. Best sanctions would be a good prolonged bombing campaign. Sadly that won’t happen.

  10. Can they also impose sancstions on those that killed those aid workers?

  11. So if Iran bombes the US embassy and kills a bunch of key military personnel the US shouldn’t respond. And if they did they should be punished? If you cant take this double standard, think about your own beliefs and biases a bit more critically.

  12. Why do politicians from enlightened countries sanction key oppressors from authoritarian states only when it’s convenient from the perspective of media, but not when it was needed years ago? What an era of bloody populists.

  13. Those sanctions should’ve been imposed 2 years ago when they started supplying Russia with arms…

  14. Ink on paper…Iran has been under sanctions for decades …this shit is only to take the shot and fill up the headlines.

  15. How dare Iran put their embassy under a Zionist rocket? They were obviously using them as human shields !

  16. Haven’t we already seen that warnings and sanctions don’t work?

  17. Very good news! It would be even better if sanctions could be placed on individuals responsible for carrying out war crimes and genocide in Gaza, too. No need to treat butchers with respect, be they Iranian or Israeli.

  18. This thread only confirms my point that it was flooded by bots from r/worldnews. That nothing bad can be said about Israel.

  19. The international community really showing their hipocrisy. Allies can target civilians, hospitals, aid workers, and diplomatic buildings but if you retaliate it’s sanctions time
