The European Union has imposed new sanctions on senior Iranian officials and entities, citing human rights abuses and support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. The bloc has also listed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. The move follows months of internal EU debate and growing international concern over Tehran’s crackdown on protest movements and weapons exports to Russia.
