Iran vows ‘immediate’ response to new EU sanctions
Tehran, Iran (AFP):
Iran has vowed an “immediate” response to the European Union’s sanctions on its citizens and entities over handling of protests sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death.
Iran will “decide and act immediately in accordance with the decisions and actions” taken by EU member countries, foreign ministry spokesman Naser Kanani said.
Iran has been rocked by demonstrations since the death of 22-year-old Amini and a crackdown on protesters.
The EU sanctions target 11 Iranian officials and four entities, including the morality police.
The United States, Britain and Canada have already announced sanctions against Iran over rights violations.
Tehran has accused the United States and some US allies of fomenting the protests.
