The ‍EU will propose further sanctions ‍on those responsible for the repression of demonstrations in ⁠Iran, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Tuesday.

Axar.az informs "The rising number of casualties in Iran is horrifying. I unequivocally condemn the excessive use of force and continued restriction of freedom," she wrote on X.

"The European Union has already listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in its entirety under its human rights sanctions regime.

In close cooperation with High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, further sanctions on those responsible for the repression will be swiftly proposed. We stand with the people of Iran who are bravely marching for their liberty," she added.
