The EU calls on Iran to stop supporting Russia. Last Minute EUROPE, CURRENT, Russian news and events

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell told Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Emir Abdullahian that Iran should immediately support Russia and stop pressure inside the country.

Borrell said this meeting with Emir Abdullayan during a regional conference in Jordan was necessary at a time when relations between the EU and Iran were deteriorating.

While there were no signs of a resumption of nuclear talks, Borrell noted that the EU would continue to work with Iran to restart the 2015 nuclear deal.

In a message posted on Twitter, Borrell said: “Efforts to keep open channels of communication and revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Vienna Recently, the 2015 international nuclear agreement stalled. While Iran is trying to quell protests against the regime in the country, Western countries It says that Iran is using drones in Russia’s war with Ukraine, all this makes it difficult to ease sanctions against Iran.

The United States withdrew from the 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran at the request of former President Donald Trump in 2018. After that, Iran began to withdraw from the agreement. The deal included easing sanctions while limiting Iran’s nuclear power production.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that Emir Abdullahyan noted that his country is ready to correct any misunderstandings about Tehran’s position in the Ukrainian war through direct communication with Ukraine.

Iran confirmed it was supplying the drones to Moscow, but said they were sent to Russia before the war in Ukraine. Russia has used them to target power plants and civilian infrastructure.

Abdullahyan also denounced Western support for the protests in Iran and sanctions he said were “illegal” against his country.

New sanctions after Iranian protests

The EU and the US have imposed new sanctions on Iran for its brutal crackdown on protests after a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, died in September after being detained by the vice police.

The demonstrations are considered the biggest problem facing the religious regime in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

According to the GRANA news agency, 502 protesters and 62 security guards were killed during the events.

The West blames Iran for “unreasonable demands” after all sides seem to have reached an agreement to drag out nuclear talks.

One of the obstacles to the deal are traces of uranium found at undeclared nuclear facilities.

Yesterday, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) UN nuclear watchdog officials told the semi-official ISNA news agency that they had returned from a meeting with the head of Iran’s nuclear energy agency.

An Iranian official told the IRNA news agency today that Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani and EU nuclear coordinator Enrique Mora were also present at today’s meeting.
