"The idea is to target the companies that are needed for the drones, for the missiles," he said. The finer details are yet to be worked out, he added.
The EU will take "further restrictive measures against Iran, notably in relation to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missiles," the European Council said in a statement.
The statement also called “on Iran and its proxies to cease all attacks" and urged all sides to exercise “utmost restraint and to refrain from any action that may increase tensions in the region.”
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has tasked his staff with drawing up new measures and expanding sanctions. The EU has already targeted those responsible for making drones that Iran has sold to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.
The idea is to expand that list to include missiles, although there is no evidence that Iran has sold missiles to Russia. Borrell said that proxy forces backed by Iran in Lebanon, Iraq and Syria could also be targeted with sanctions.

The whole world can see the blatant double standards
-
Hypocrite at the highest level
-
Israel attacked embassy./ Consulate..that's called first aggression. Iran responded
-
What about sanctions against Israel and maybe the US
-
They didn't sanction Israel for genocide or bombing a consulate but they are quick to sanction Iran for defending itself
-
Just like school, always rewarding the bully and punishing the bullied for fighting back.
-
Sick EU
-
What a joke
-
The EU once said they "condemned to the strongest point ANY attacks on diplomatic or consulate missions" and now they're sanctioning Iran for retaliating against an attack on their consulate. You literally can't make this stuff up, such hypocrisy.
-
Just unreal! Absolute BS!
-
When Europeans are not fighting against each other, they are colonizing someone.
-
typical Bully, no mention of the attack on embassy
-
Odd what about sanctions against Israel?
-
One sided BS.
-
That's why multipolar world is needed.
-
Western hypocrisy,

Some good old Western bs and double standard
-
How can somebody who is so biased mediate? It's ludicrous.
-
The comments show how public opinion is against these measurements that Europeans are taking, yet they claim to be "democratic", what a joke!
