According to Josep Borrell, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs, the European Union's foreign ministers agreed on expanding the existing sanctions on Iran, following its attack against Israel.
He added that the purpose of the sanctions is to reduce Iran's supply of UAVs to Russia, and the supply of missiles to Tehran's proxies in the Middle East.
An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, called Iran's newly elected President Massoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday to congratulate him on his recent election victory, according to Saudi state media reports.
