The UK has slapped 12 new sanctions on Iranians who were accused of planning attacks on Britain.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office announced the latest sanctions this afternoon.
Those included involve alleged members and associates of what the Government described as Zindashti criminal network.
The sanctions also impact several exchange houses and financial operators.
Whitehall accused the criminal network of involvement in Iranian-backed hostile activity.
The activity involved included threatening, planning or conducting against individuals and assets in the UK and beyond.
Iran has continued to deny involvement in such attacks, both in the UK and internationally.
