Iran’s reaction to the European Union sanctions in the field of defense industry

according to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency Nasser Kanani, spokesperson The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the decision of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union on Monday, December 19, to impose sanctions against some individuals and institutions of our country, based on the false claim of interference in the Ukraine crisis, and described it as a destructive action.

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added: The desperate efforts of some malicious currents with specific political goals in order to spread false information and stick to the ineffective tactic of sanctions, while not bringing any achievements for the sanctioners, are self-made obstacles. It increases the relationship between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Europe.

Kanaani, pointing out that the European Union turned a blind eye to the most flagrant violation of the principles of international law, stated: While Europe talks about international law and the United Nations Charter, it actually turns its eyes on the most severe and gross violation of the known principles of international law, including human rights and international humanitarian rights, and the undoubted commission of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank. Bakhtri is closed and fails to take effective measures to stop the brutal attacks of the usurping Zionist regime. He considered the need to resolve the differences between Russia and Ukraine peacefully, the imposition of sanctions in the field of our country’s defense industry as baseless and reserved the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to respond.
