Iran condemns new EU sanctions over alleged rights abuses Iran has criticised a new round of European Union sanctions targeting officials over alleged human rights violations. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced earlier that member states approved sanctions on 19 Iranian officials and entities. In a post on X, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei described the measures as “absurd”, “immoral” and “utterly unlawful”. Baghaei said the sanctions were an attempt to punish Iran for exercising its right to self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter against the US and Israel during their war on Iran.

EU sanctions 19 Iranian officials, including Mojtaba Khamenei, over protests The EU has approved new sanctions on 19 Iranian officials and entities, its foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Wednesday, citing "serious human rights violations" during Tehran's deadly crackdown on mass protests. Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei was not among those hit by the measures, according to diplomatic sources. "As the Iran war continues, the EU will protect its interests and pursue those responsible for domestic repression," Kallas said, announcing the sanctions agreed by EU member states.
