The United Kingdom imposed sanctions on high-ranking members of the Iranian Security Service and the Vice-Police.

The reason for the sanctions was the death of 22-year-old girl Mahsa Amini in a police station, which was followed by protests in Iran.

Britain said it had imposed sanctions on the vice police in general, as well as its chief, Mohammad Rostami Cheshmeh Gachi, and the head of Tehran's Haj Ahmad Mirzaei.
