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.
Iran and the United States will hold a new round of nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday to resolve their decades-long standoff over Tehran's atomic aims, under the shadow of President Donald Trump's threat to unleash military action if diplomacy fails.
Israel has not ruled out an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months despite President Donald Trump telling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. was for now unwilling to support such a move, according to an Israeli official and two other people familiar with the matter.
In a defiant speech on Friday evening, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, insisted that the group “will not allow anyone to disarm it,” rejecting growing internal calls for the Lebanese state to reclaim exclusive control over the country’s weapons.
