US President Barack Obama has ordered the imposition of sanctions on eight senior Iranian officials for "sustained and severe violations of human rights".
The treasury department said they would face a travel ban and asset freeze.
They include the head of the Revolutionary Guards, a former interior minister and the prosecutor-general.
The alleged abuses include the killings and beatings of anti-government protesters after the disputed presidential election in June 2009.
