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.
President Donald Trump said on Monday the United States would either reach a deal with Iran or "finish the job," renewing his threat of military action as Tehran projects defiance following the funeral of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran's theocratic rulers are mobilising mass crowds of the revolutionary faithful on the streets of Tehran, but behind the display of unity it is far from clear they have resolved gaping internal fractures over the economy and state repression.
The funeral of late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was more than a national farewell. The sea of mourners in Tehran sent a message to the United States and Israel that their attempt to break the Islamic Republic had failed.
