EU foreign ministers have approved a new round of sanctions on Iran at the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, targeting around 30 individuals and entities for their role in violently suppressing protests—resulting in thousands killed or arrested—and for supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine through drones and missiles.
The measures include asset freezes and travel bans. EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said, “Iran’s security forces are responsible for mass killings. Today, we are imposing new sanctions… and I also expect that we will designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. If you act like a terrorist, you should be treated as one.”
