EU imposes more sanctions oagainst Iran

The European Union (EU) has imposed sanctions on more Iranian officials, as part of its efforts to mount pressure on the Islamic Republic over its nuclear energy program. The 17 names were agreed on during a Friday meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

The individuals on the EU blacklist are subject to asset freezes and travel bans. They include officials in the Iranian judiciary and media who have no links with the country’s nuclear energy program.

The EU has also alleged that some of the Iranian officials were involved in human rights violations.
