EU foreign ministers on Monday agreed in principle to expand sanctions on Iran following Tehran's missile and drone attack on Israel, the Union’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, said.
The European Union already has multiple sanctions against Iran, for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, human rights abuses and supplying drones to Russia.
But several EU countries had called for widening the drone-related sanctions regime to cover missiles and transfers to proxy forces.
On April 13, Iran launched a large salvo of missiles and drones at Israel. Israel later responded in turn with airstrikes near Isfahan and Tabriz, Iran.
