Danish Foreign Minister, Anders Samuelsen, announced on Tuesday that the European Union agreed sanctions against an Iranian intelligence service.
“EU just agreed to enact sanctions against an Iranian Intelligence Service for its assassination plots on European soil,” said Samuelsen on Twitter, adding that it is “a strong signal from the EU that we will not accept such behavior in Europe.”
The Danish Security and Intelligence Service (PET) announced on October that its forces in collaboration with Swedish and Norwegian police arrested an Iranian agent, who was planning to carry out political assassinations in Denmark.
Iran has also accused by France and Netherland in previous separate cases for carrying out assassination in their soil.
