Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered officials to clamp down “decisively and ruthlessly” on luxury goods imported into the country illegally.
“Luxury goods that have been smuggled in must be thrown into compactors and crushers,” Khamenei said on his official Twitter account.
Khamenei added that the presence of the items in Iran, driven by strict U.S. trade sanctions that prevent imports of many popular foreign brands, harms domestic industry.
