European Union proposes new sanctions on Iran after crackdown on protests

The European Union is moving to impose new sanctions on Iran. This follows a deadly crackdown by Iranian authorities on recent protests.

EU ministers have approved the measures, which include tightening a ban on drone exports to Iran. The European Parliament has also barred Iranian diplomats from its premises, and several EU countries have summoned Iranian ambassadors. Iran has warned of 'destructive consequences' if the EU lists its Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group.
