Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian stated that the sanctions imposed by the European Union on Tehran following its attack on Israel are regrettable, as they were acting in self-defense. Amir Abdollahian noted on the social media platform X that it is unfortunate to see the European Union quickly deciding to implement more illegal restrictions on Iran simply because it exercised its right to self-defense in the face of reckless Israeli aggression.
