On January 3, 2026 the European Commission released a statement following protests in Iran. The spokesperson noted that demonstrations reflect demands of many Iranians and expressed concern about reported deaths and injuries. The EU urged Iran’s security forces to exercise maximum restraint when dealing with peaceful protests. It highlighted socio‑economic challenges acknowledged by authorities and called for inclusive dialogue rather than violence. The statement also urged Iranian authorities to uphold the right to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly, to ensure a free flow of information and internet access, and to immediately release all individuals arrested for peacefully exercising their rights.
