The European Union’s new coup against Iran. this EU foreign ministers adopted New sanctions against the Iranian regime for the “unacceptable suppression of protests” and human rights situation that emerged after the death of young Mahsa Amini while in police custody, as well as for Tehran’s cooperation with Russia, including the supply of drones used in the war against Ukraine. In total, Twenty-seven will add the names of 24 individuals and 5 more organizations to the sanctions list.
Twenty names and one entity from the sanctioned list correspond to the restrictive measures implemented for human rights violations. “Iran must understand that the European Union will strongly condemn and do everything in its power to support Iranian women, peaceful protesters, and of course reject this death penalty,” European Union Diplomacy Head Josep Borrell said on Monday. He had a “long” meeting with his Iranian counterpart, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, last Friday, to voice his concerns about Europe’s latest death sentences.
Among those sanctioned are the Iranian revolutionary guards, who are responsible for the repression, executions and violence against protesters. “First of all, it’s about the Revolutionary Guards, but also about those who try to intimidate or punish people with videos by force,” said the German Foreign Minister.
