European Union foreign ministers, led by the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, reached an agreement on Monday to expand sanctions against Iran following its recent missile and drone attacks on Israel. The sanctions now include measures against Iranian drones, missiles, and their potential transfer to proxies such as Russia. The decision was reached during a meeting in Luxembourg, where EU foreign and defense ministers convened to address the issue. The expanded sanctions also aim to curtail the exports of EU-made components used in the production of UAVs and ballistic missiles. This move by the EU has been hailed by Israel as a 'clear message' to Iran. Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, criticized the sanctions, stating that Iran was acting in self-defense during its attack on Israel.
