What are the desired effects of EU sanctions, how could they impact Iran? | DW News
The EU will widen sanctions against Iran following the country's weekend attack on Israel, European Council President Charles Michel told reporters in the early hours of Thursday morning after the first day of a two-day summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
"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.

#israel #iran #eu
The whole world can see the blatant double standards
At least those who want to see them.
Its Hypocricy
@@user-le6jr4rv9t Hypocrisy is a special case. You can have double-standards you are aware of and you can have them without being aware that you have them. In the latter case there's some hope that you can become aware for a fairer judgment.
Criminals helping Criminals. Nothing new.
Who ? The Israelis, Iran, USA or Hamas ? It is getting difficult to figure out which one is more full of BS.
Israel attacked embassy./ Consulate..that's called first aggression. Iran responded
iran attacked Israel on oct 7th via hezbollah/hamas proxies
No it didn't
Why , because you believe the false state
Don't believe anyone. Look at pictures. The embassy still stands. INTACT. But the IRGC generals meeting in the building next door are dead. And that building is caput
Consul not embassy 🤡
Hypocrite at the highest level
As you could probably hear from the US accent
The biggest hypocrites are those who call out others as hypocrites. These are the greatest hypocrites
He´s a J.
Iran troll
What about sanctions against Israel and maybe the US
Yes, sanction the US , no more youtube 🤭
They didn't sanction Israel for genocide or bombing a consulate but they are quick to sanction Iran for defending itself
And Iran funding proxy wars around the Middle East I think 🤔
Palestinians got the war they wanted. I have no sympathy for them.. none.
There’s no genocide as laud you want to scream it, learn the definition of the word. Secondly Iran is the one funding all these terrorist organisations, for decades, they have no leg to stand on.
Sanctions don’t work lol
Is someone attacking Iran?
Odd what about sanctions against Israel?
Why would you indict the Judge?
Who want to sanction israel 😅
That's why multipolar world is needed.
then you have more problems like now its bipolar many other thoughts other deal roots deals its all polar
be careful what you wish for.
They going to sanction the whole world 😅hhhhhhh but they sanctioned them selves
Cry harder 😂@@thegreatdane3627
Criminals helping Criminals. Nothing new.
typical Bully, no mention of the attack on embassy
Just like school, always rewarding the bully and punishing the bullied for fighting back.
Iran is a.. victim now? LOL
That’s exactly the reason why we need to show Iran that they can’t fund terrorism and live peacefully.
I assume you mean Iran is the bully and Israel is the bullied?
@@Curryking32000 I guess these are pro-Iranian bots, there lot of them above and below.
Guess who's getting billions for free and who is getting punished by sanctions@@Curryking32000
Just unreal! Absolute BS!
One sided BS.
People are starting to wake up and see through the nonsense.
Indeed. Iran tries to bomb civilians and there are no protests against them. Biased indeed.
The world are full of BS, live with it
The world are full of BS, live with it
what u expect from a J.
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.
Iranian attacked US embassy also
The comments show how public opinion is against these measurements that Europeans are taking, yet they claim to be "democratic", what a joke!
♥️🙏♥️
These so called global North only represent 12% of worldwide population.
When Europeans are not fighting against each other, they are colonizing someone.
villains? That means the US is not seen as the villains who have attacked every possible country in the world
It's very easy friend. The good guys are the ones arguing about bathroom arrangements for trans-people. The bad guys are the ones that beat their women for not wearing headscarves. Not hard.
@@technokicksyourass And the ones shooting 12 year old children playing outside their house and proclaiming it a heroic act?
Villain or not, US is superpower nation, they can do whatever they like
'Superpower'😂😂😂
Some good old Western bs and double standard
Stop the war crimes in Gaza...
Stop hamas attack on israel
People that lie this bad on tv should be put in a jail
In Iran they would be! Perhaps you would be happier there!
Yep, you should seriously consider moving to Iran
@@technokicksyourass Wheres the Hamas HQ under Al-shifa? Probably being built now to provide 'proof' to the story. 😉
@@auggiemarsh8682Don't you think it is too dangerous to be living in Israel? I heard many are trying to leave the country... I do pity those who's families have been living there for generations as they are the ones ultimately left to face the music when many with dual-citizenships have flee the country. There's 60K US citizens living in illegal settlements in the West Bank.
@@hendosmom9415 That's the reason he told OP to move there lol 🤭
Western hypocrisy,
Hypocrisy that many people enjoys, youtube also a western hypocrisy, and people like to watch it 😁
Remember how people were remembered that supported the German guy. EU leaders will be seen the same way. You simply do not support fascist like isrl.
What is the point of Sanctioning Iran when Netanyahu is the one that has all the incentive to escalate. This is absurd. Are EU leaders this thick. Total disrespect. Btw, Iran is already heavily sanctioned, do the EU leaders think more sanctions work. What is the EU leaders trying to get out of this, other than reward an escalation.
Unfortunately, logic thinking is not every politician's strength.
Sanctioning iran right after their attack that they say a revenge is like a slap to their face they should keep its momentum
E.U. has not blacklisted Iran s revolutionary guards yet but is going to happen like U.S. did in 2019 and is going to end 2015 nuclear deal. BB Netanhayu s court trial is a different story.
True, as if Iran can't trade w/ russia, china, n.korea, india. It has oil and the world needs it.
Bo aithulla
How can somebody who is so biased mediate? It's ludicrous.
Sick EU
Sick but many people want to live there from middle east and africa
@@yamint yes, because sick EU destroyed and robbed there country for centuries so they need to live somewhere
Iran has the right to defend it self
Nobody's attacking Iran. So what defense do they have need for?
@@criticaltheories5222Bruh, Israel attacked Iran first,
@@criticaltheories5222 Israel attacked Iran
Attacking an Iranian consulate is tantamount to an attack on Iran itself ! What part of this is too complex for Israeli apologists?
Why don't they do it instead of talk? All talk and no walk?
How dare Iran do anything after Israel attacked their diplomatic land
Stop falling into the trap of choosing sides and being divided. If you want a diplomatic point of view… both sides are wrong. Iran was having terrorist meetings against Israel near the consulate in Iran.
such a primitive point of view you have cathy
@@catherinelouisehilliard3918 really then why won’t Israel take responsibility & provide evidence? Imagine if after Saturday Iran refused to claim the attack while also claiming Israel is in the wrong 😂
@@NixonThr336ixanything is posible my man. Middle east hands are not clean from blood. But they just want to make some tension to get deescalation.
Absolutely! Israel's strike was a shocking violation of the right of Iranian generals to plan and direct terrorism with impunity.
Why sanctions Iran 🇮🇷 for what ? What about Isreal killing innocent Gaza civilians
What about hamas killing innocent israeli civilians?
What about stopping all the "what about" and expecting everyone to behave morally in each action they take, without trying to justify bad behavior by claiming that others have behaved worse?
@@yaminthamas never kill civilians, prove to me ?
@@yaminthow many civilians killed im Gaza, your bible teach that that's why you like it
@@jemikad7858 hamas never kill civilians? Really?
hypocrite
Why the same EU leaders reluctant to impose sanctions on Israel who is committing a genocide and war crimes in Gaza and other parts of occupied Palestine?
Because it's only happening in your imagination?
@@technokicksyourass UN report is imagination?
@@happymelon7129 Is it the same UN that doesn't call HUMUS a terrorist organization? Enough said!
@@happymelon7129 The preliminary ICJ ruling probably should have been harsher.
@@happymelon7129 It is no use. As people we would like to believe it is of use but they are wasting their time.
Israel attack Iran 🇮🇷 embassy...
Do you never ask WHY? Do you never see the context? Do you never ask which consequences your actions and measurements will have?
Crusedars mindset with endless lies
What about sanctions on usa israel weapons of mass destruction on Gaza genocide killing 35000 civilians 70% women and children
Your numbers are off... The Gaza ministry of health admitted they overestimated by 10,000. So the admitted numbers are 10k militants + 10k civilians. Most pathetic genocide ever.
So israel isnt allowed strike back because hamas cowards hide behind civilians?
I think you need to subtract the militants killed and pay attention to what HUMUS health had to admit( 1/3 of the numbers they reported are not stacking up)
What about the civilians that hamas killed in israel?
These colonial countries will always be colonial. They will never change
The world has woke up from U$UKEU double standard
These so called global North only represent 12% of worldwide population.
the rest Vs the west
More like the West endangering the Rest. DW platform for warmongers. I hope, there is enough time for BRICS+ to get started, gather all countries who wish and work for peace and mutual prosperity, and leave the uncooperative West behind. But first we must avoid war. Stop Israel and the warmongers!
You just know this? 😅
So no oil from Russia and no oil from Iran. Will Europe warm its houses with water?😂
I don't know.. Saudi, Qatar, Australia, USA, UAE, North Sea, Nigeria, Finland?
@@technokicksyourass shhhh thats our little secret lol
Responsible politicians and their wealthy mighty friends will not be suffering, just ordinary citizens 😢 They don't care about their own citizens anymore, that's a fact. Only have self-destructive decisions past years 😢
sends a nice strong message that you’re not allowed to defend yourself against israel 🥴
Iran ,the persians are the goodies now and israeli west the baddies,the bullies on every block 😢
What movie is this? 😅
It amazing how they miss out the part that the attack was on the Iranian consulate. So Israel first broke internal law by entering Syrian airspace and bombing inside of Syria and then they broke the second international law by targeting a consulate
No need to listen these biased guys. Shame on you guys
Almost everything in this world is bias, get used to it
Hypocrite!
These so called global North only represent 12% of worldwide population.
Once again EU representatives making decisions by themselves without the people's consent.
Genociders back from centuries of barbarism
And who's voted for anyone in eu organization !? Nobody
More of the same EU sanctions, war, intimidation, larceny, coercion and whatever else by any means necessary.
Any sanctions against Israel following the six-month genocide in Gaza?
No an aota or a slight hint that Israel attacked Iran's Embassy? Wow, I'm living in a different planet 😅
GET OFF OCCUPIED TERRITORIES, PERIOD.
Since Palestinians launch mass attacks from said territories... that will never happen now.
Stop Palestinians of being terrorists who cry victim when they get a response.
You get them off if you can 😀
Sanctions!! Totally ineffective, or even counter productive... But at least: It gives ''a clear signal''....🤣😂
Such a joke
Iran is like the bully Debo from Friday in the Middle East 😂
do you really think you can stop iranians with sanctions? they also increase your energy costs
Action is followed by reaction. Repression creates resistance. Very basic knowledge.
Exactly as planned, ever heard anything about Reset !?
You would think that way of thinking is soooo bs,then you see the double down lmao😂.
Israel touting Oman and Saudi corporations like a game changer😂. There are 15 other Arab countries and 10 non Arab that dont recognize Israel 😂😂
So iran was not allowed to respond for what Israel 🇮🇱 have been doing for them in real this is how western union are
The West politicians mad cow
Mad cow that control the world 😁
A regime change in Iran shall bolster peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region and beyond.
Iran will have many tears to shed.
Democracy has to be redefined.
When will EU sanction Israel? Should Israel be made to stop violating the International law? Or it is just Double standard?
Over 45 years, the sanctions for Iran. How has that sanctions impact worked out for Iran lately? Ask the U.S., Israel and the coalition of the willing.
I dont even like Iran but wrong is wrong Isreal knows exactly what they did
Foundation for Defense of Democracies... *Interesting*
Iran has been sanctioned since 1979. I guess this new round of sanctions will put so much pressure on them and curtail their weapons programme. Hahaha!
Stop deflecting from what's going on in Gaza.
I think there are no rules anymore. Only sides work.
The rules are set by the powerful nations 😀
The rules are set by the powerful nations 😀
ask who profits when there is blood on the streets
eu's too busy punishing and fining its own member states for daring to break its rules and do whats best for their countries than punish Iran. Even though the eu breaks its own rules, that seems to be fine to them.
Most probably it will backfires as like russian
Lol sanctions Russia is still under sanctions 😅
USELESS EU,SHAME
This guy is delusional.
Couldn't find a European to talk about EU sanctions?
NATO seems to be able to defend israel w/o article 5, why can't NATO defend Ukraine w/o article 5?
There is not much money on the table from Ukraine.
Because nato is too cowardly to take on russia, but enough of a bully to take on iran
Why change the policies just because they are wrong and ineffective.
Crazy world. Leave Iran issues and deal with innocent civilians who are being murdered in Gaza.
What were the sanctions against Israel for bombing that embassy?
But October 7th!
Iran also attacked US embassy in 1979
Where was sanctions when the west fold fell?
@@yamint Who was in power in 1979?
Iran is not’Arab’ Iran is Persian, nor do they speak Arabic
We Iranians are used to bad news and we're happy with it, because after any bad news, we believe lots of good news are on the way, if we stay patient.
What EU responses are for Isreal's attack?
I'm sorry to say that the American accent now instantly arouses suspicion.
EUs respons to Irans attack???😮😮😮 what was EUs respons when Israel attacked Palestinians doing whatever they want. What was EU's response when Israel attacked Iran's consulate and killed 13 people.... you and your super hypocrisies
EU is an ally for israel, what do you expect?
Look at this American leader of "Defense for Democracy" one of the major NGOs spreading democracy with bribes and social unrest targeting minority groups and young people. Every country must legislate against these organisations demanding complete transparency of all finacial dealing. "Name of the game is destabilization leading to a colour revolution" ? Make no mistake they are very very effect. Ask the people of Ukraine
difficult to justify, right? liars
Hypocrites at their best😅😂
How much coke did Bradley pack up his nose before appearing on this segment?
In simple terms, West and East blocks should not trade together. Europe has no resources to run their industries and Americans lacks natural resources. West economy will collapse first .
Always love to hear Bradley Bowman’s take. He’s unfiltered and to the point.
When politicians are more afraid of a foreign entity than their own citizens
Israel attacks Iran EU : Iran retaliates EU : 🐕🦺
Can't even listen to this... When it comes to is rael, the west simply can't think straight, just pathetic.
FDD's (Foundation of Defense of Democracy a registered lobbying organization founded shortly after 9/11) stated mission: "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations"😮😅😂
Dual faces of Eu When Israel kills thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza , EU is silent Now on Iran retaliation, EU just showing full support to brutal Israel Hypocrisy is at its peak.
Not hypocrite, EU is israel friend, they will take side with israel, and whatever israel do, they support. Whoever don't like israel, EU also don't like them 😀
NO,is,Tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians
Iran is just warming up
Sanctions don’t work because they’re not selling them products. They’re building the OEM manufacturing facilities there. It’s the same thing we do. 🤦🏾♂️
Im fascinated: Why no one talking about the first strike on the Iranian consulat in Syria!? Im flabbergasted!!! Its like its not existed? Is this a comedy?
Criminals helping Criminals.
Funniest thing is that EU does not have the capability... its like sanctioning air... don't breathe... 😂😂😂
Iram said Case Closed. So it is Case Closed. Stop Warmongering. I am getting tires if my US Tax Dollars paying for this y
let's put double standard aside, the sanction is a joke🤣🤣🤣, how is russia right now, seems like it's gonna win the war
Iran should be glad, Western sactions seem to be the pre-requisite for Economic rejuvenation.
What about israel? They dont deserve sanctions for genocide? Stop the bigotry …
The sanctions is set by the powerful nations , those who has no power just watch and complaint 😅
It's all theatre at this point.
