The sanctions reportedly include a ban on entry to EU countries, as well as freezing the assets of some individuals. At the same time, it is specified that the specific names of Iranian citizens will be published next week when the sanctions come into force.
The European Union declined to comment on this information.
It is noted that, along with the United States, since 2011, the European Union has imposed a number of sanctions for human rights violations against more than 80 Iranians. Explaining why the EU is taking such measures right now, one of the diplomats said that “the community seeks to take a tougher stance on the issue of protecting human rights.”
“Those who are responsible for serious violations of rights should be aware that there are certain consequences,” one EU diplomat said.
At the same time, it is clarified that the introduction of restrictions against Iran is not associated with efforts to resume the nuclear deal.
