The United Kingdom announces plans for a tougher sanctions regime against Iran over alleged human rights violations and hostile actions on UK soil.

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly says the “further measures” were “a toolkit that I would prefer not to use, but the decision on whether I do so or whether I do not is firmly in the hands of the Iranian regime itself.”
