The European Union is set to begin the process of expanding sanctions against Iran, according to a statement made by EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell. The decision comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Palestinians, as well as concerns over Iran's nuclear program.
Borrell stated that the EU will be working on implementing new sanctions against Iran, although specific details of the sanctions have not yet been disclosed. The move is seen as a response to Iran's recent actions, including its decision to enrich uranium to levels not seen since the 2015 nuclear deal.
