EU to discuss further sanctions on Iranian regime

NCRI – European Union foreign ministers are expected to discuss how the bloc can put more pressure on Iranian regime to end its nuclear program at a meeting in Brussels on Monday, the German news agency DPA reported.

Ministers are "expected to debate what kind of sanctions the bloc could impose on Iran if the UN called for more action, but without calling for unilateral EU measures," the report added.

The debate comes six weeks after EU leaders at a summit in Brussels in December issued a statement calling on Iranian regime to stop its uranium enrichment activities.

The December statement declared the readiness of  "EU Foreign Ministers to consider options for next steps to this end at the next Foreign Affairs Council," which is scheduled for Monday.
