The EU has announced plans to expand existing sanctions against Iran’s drone sector, targeting the supply of Iranian missiles and drones to groups in the region. This move comes after Iran carried out attacks with drones and missiles following an Israeli bombing of the Iranian Consulate in Damascus in April.
Israel Foreign Minister Israel Katz praised the EU’s decision to adopt sanctions related to Iran’s missile project, calling it an unprecedented achievement for both Israel and the EU. Additionally, the EU intends to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.
The expansion of these sanctions could include Iraq and Syria, further isolating Iran from the international community. The EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, made this announcement on Tuesday as part of a broader effort to address Iran’s aggressive actions in the region.
Overall, this commitment by the EU marks a significant step in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. Israel looks forward to continued cooperation with the EU to achieve these goals.
