Iran categorically condemns new sanctions by EU, Britain

Kanaani said on Tuesday that the move by the European Union and the regime in the UK indicates their intellectual disability in understanding realities in Iran as well as their confusion in dealing with the authority of the Islamic Republic.

He also described the recent sanctions by Europe and the UK against certain Iranian lawmakers, as well as judicial, military, law enforcement, and cultural officials of the Islamic Republic, as a sign of their desperation, frustration, and annoyance, which has its roots in their abject failure in creating insecurity in Iran despite several attempts and heavy prices.

According to the spokesman, they know very well that sanctions will not affect the Iranian nation’s determination to stand against foreign intervention and plots.

He concluded that the Islamic Republic reserves its right to embark on reciprocal acts in the face of such failed policies, and it would announce a list of new sanctions on violators of human rights and promoters of terrorism in the European Union and Britain.

The EU imposed new sanctions on over 30 Iranian officials and entities on Monday. The United States and the UK have also issued fresh sanctions on Iran.
