Brussels:
European Union leaders agreed Wednesday to impose new sanctions on Iran’s drone and missile producers over Tehran’s unprecedented weekend assault on Israel, EU chief Charles Michel stated.
“Now we have determined to place in place sanctions towards Iran, it’s a clear sign that we wished to ship,” the European Council president stated at an EU summit in Brussels.
“The concept is to focus on the businesses which might be wanted for the drones, for the missiles.”
Iran launched an unprecedented drone and missile onslaught over the weekend towards Israel, which prompted little harm after many of the projectiles have been intercepted.
Tehran’s first-ever direct assault on Israeli soil got here in response to a lethal assault on the Iranian consulate in Damascus broadly blamed on Israel.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated his nation will resolve how to reply to Iran’s assault as international powers referred to as for restraint to keep away from escalation.
The EU leaders of their assertion from the summit urged “all events to train the utmost restraint and to chorus from any motion that will enhance tensions within the area.”
