Iran to introduce sanctions against EU, UK soon

Iran will soon impose retaliatory sanctions against the EU and the UK, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran Nasser Kanaani said, reported from the Iranian media.

"The actions of the EU and the UK are a sign of their mental inability to properly understand the realities of modern Iran, as well as their confusion about the power in our country. Iran will soon announce a list of new sanctions against human rights violators and promoters of terrorism in the EU and the UK,” Kanaani said.

On January 23, the EU published a new package of personal sanctions against Iran, including 18 individuals and 19 organizations that the EU considers involved in the suppression of protests in the country. The list also includes the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its regional divisions.

On January 18, the European Parliament approved a resolution calling on the EU leadership to include the IRGC in the list of terrorist organizations.
