Tehran: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has criticized the European Union's position on new US sanctions against Iran, saying the bloc's support for Washington's economic pressure violates international law, contradicts EU regulations and runs counter to Europe's professed values.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Baqaei emphasized that the EU's alignment with US sanctions undermines the principles it claims to uphold, highlighting a discrepancy between the EU's actions and its declared commitment to international legal standards and values. The spokesperson's comments reflect Iran's ongoing discontent with the international community's stance on the US-imposed sanctions, which continue to exacerbate tensions between Tehran and Western nations.
