The European Union's concerns regarding Iran extend beyond its nuclear program to include Tehran's support for Russia and the detention of EU citizens in Iran, according to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. Following discussions with European foreign ministers in Rome, Kallas emphasized that these issues are critical to the bloc's stance on Iran. Additionally, Germany has warned that the EU may activate the 'snapback' mechanism to reinstate sanctions on Iran. French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has also issued a warning that if Iran does not cooperate to limit its nuclear activities, France and its European partners are prepared to reimpose extensive international sanctions. Le Drian stated that with a simple formal letter, the global arms embargo, nuclear-related restrictions, and sanctions on banks and insurance companies that were lifted a decade ago could be reinstated against Iran. These remarks underscore the EU's readiness to take firm action should diplomatic efforts fail to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions and other contentious activities.
