EU to discuss new Iran sanctions Monday: Lithuania

BERLIN, 12 November 2022, (TON): Member state Lithuania said “EU foreign ministers will Monday discuss slapping Iran with new sanctions over its deadly crackdown on protests and support for Russia in Ukraine.”

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said “we will be suggesting additional listings that could be added to the sanctions list.”

“It would have two parts for Iranian participation in the war on Russia’s side in Ukraine, but also for the human rights abuses that are happening in the cities of Iran.”

A senior EU official, speaking anonymously, said foreign ministers would likely adopt sanctions at the Brussels meeting on Monday over the repression of protests triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini.
