In response to the Islamic Republic’s attack on Israel, member states are implementing new sanctions, with a particular focus on the production of rockets and drones. However, Brussels is hesitant to impose the strictest measures. Despite numerous international punitive measures against Iran, the regime continues to engage in problematic behaviors such as developing a military nuclear program, supplying weapons to terrorist groups, and repressing its population.
The EU has previously imposed sanctions on Iran and plans to introduce additional measures in response to recent violence against Israel. The focus will be on restricting exports of components used in military missile production from the EU to Iran, particularly related to drones and missiles. The European Council did not provide specific details but acknowledged the need for action.
While some European leaders are advocating for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to be classified as a terrorist organization, others are more cautious. There is division among member states regarding this issue, with legal concerns and hopes for diplomatic negotiations playing a role in decision-making. The EU is calling for restraint from both Israel and Iran to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region.
The Israeli government has rejected calls for restraint and is committed to defending itself against attacks. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized Israel’s right to self-defense and independence in decision-making. The situation remains complex and requires careful consideration of diplomatic and security implications.
