The European Union (EU) has recently committed to imposing sanctions on Iran following the country’s recent attack with drones and missiles following the Israeli bombing of the Iranian Consulate in Damascus in April. This move has been praised by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who called it an unprecedented achievement for both Israel and the EU. In addition to imposing sanctions, the EU also intends to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.
In response to this news, Josep Borrell, the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, announced on Tuesday that he will work to expand existing sanctions against Iran’s drone sector. This expansion would target the supply of Iranian missiles and drones to groups in the region such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. Borrell also mentioned the possibility of expanding these sanctions to include Iraq and Syria.
Israel looks forward to continued cooperation with the EU to promote peace and stability in the Middle East. The commitment of both Israel and the EU to impose sanctions on Iran marks a significant step in addressing Iran’s aggressive actions in the region. Overall, this move is a positive step towards promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
