The European Union on Wednesday approved a new round of sanctions against Iran, targeting 19 individuals and entities.
The sanctions were approved by EU ambassadors earlier that day, according to a social media post by Kaja Kallas, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and European Commission Vice-President.
In a strongly worded statement on Wednesday, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesman for Iranian Foreign Ministry slammed the punitive measures.
He said that the EU is attempting to penalize Iran for resisting "brutal and unlawful aggression of the United States and the Israeli regime."
At the same time, Baghaei added, the EU is arming and supporting the U.S. and Israel and providing them with the means to act.
