International community investigates and sanctions Iran over protest crackdown

The United Nations Human Rights Council has launched an investigation into Iran's violent response to protests, holding an emergency session to condemn the crackdown. The G7 has threatened new sanctions on Iran over the repression, while the European Union has already approved sanctions against 15 Iranian officials, including top leaders of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. These international actions represent coordinated pressure on Iran following its deadly suppression of demonstrations.
