Foreign ministers of the European Union are expected to sign off on fresh sanctions on Iran on Monday, writes dw.com.
German news agency DPA reported that the new sanctions will target roughly three dozen Iranian individuals and organizations.
The move would be the EU’s fourth round of sanctions on Iran since widespread protests emerged after 23-year-old Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini died in the custody of the morality police last year.
Those previous sanctions targeted 146 individuals and 12 organizations targeted, including members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in response to the police crackdown on protesters and subsequent executions.
