EU ministers agree on 4th package of sanctions against Iran

 EU ministers on Monday agreed on a new package of sanctions against Iran, the Swedish EU presidency said.

"Ministers adopted a new package of sanctions against Iran, targeting those driving the repression. The EU strongly condemns the brutal and disproportionate use of force by the Iranian authorities against peaceful protesters," the presidency said in a tweet, without giving further detail.

Sources said last week that EU foreign ministers would add 37 individual entries to the EU's sanctions against Iran at their meeting on Monday.
