EU Imposes New Sanctions Against Iran Over Repression and Arms Support

The European Union has imposed new sanctions targeting 15 individuals and six entities linked to Iran’s repression of protesters and support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Measures include asset freezes, travel bans to the EU, and restrictions on financial resources. The Council extended prohibitions on exporting drone and missile technologies to Iran, which has supplied such components to Russia. Four persons and six entities involved in Iran’s drones and missiles program are also sanctioned. The EU emphasized its commitment to addressing Iran’s ‘brutal repression’ and ‘military assistance to Russia’s aggression.’ Sanctions will take effect upon publication in the Official Journal. High Representative Kaja Kallas and Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque endorsed the measures, framing them as a response to human rights violations and a reinforcement of support for Ukraine.
