European Union leaders gathered at a summit to discuss escalating sanctions against Iran in response to Tehran's recent attack on Israel. The leaders debated ways to target individuals and entities involved in producing missiles and drones used in the attack. French President Emmanuel Macron urged EU counterparts to expand sanctions against Iran, particularly focusing on those aiding in the production of military equipment.
The EU is considering additional restrictive measures against Iran, specifically related to unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell is working on new measures to address the situation. The United States is also preparing sanctions targeting Iran's missile and drone program and entities supporting the Revolutionary Guard and Iran's Defense Ministry.
