BRUSSELS — Israeli officials hailed the decision this morning by European Union ambassadors on new sanctions against Iran over its supply of drones to Russia.
“Iran sanctions in record time! After 3 days of talks, EU ambassadors agreed on measures against entities supplying Iranian drones that hit Ukraine. Written procedure is over, sanctions come into force this afternoon on publication in the official journal,” read a tweet from the current EU presidency, held by the Czech Republic. Jerusalem has not yet issued any official reaction, but diplomatic sources told Al-Monitor that Israel naturally supports any additional sanctions against Iranian aggression.
