The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, announced her readiness to implement new sanctions against Iran in response to the violent suppression of nationwide protests. Kallas indicated that the proposed sanctions would likely target individuals responsible for the crackdown, including senior officials.

The measures could involve travel restrictions and the freezing of assets for those identified as accountable for the violence against protesters. This development comes amid ongoing unrest in Iran, where protests have been met with significant governmental force.
