EU Agrees to Stronger Iran Sanctions

The European Union announced today that it would be imposing robust sanctions on Iran, targeting its energy, shipping, insurance and financial sectors. After seven years of being out-negotiated and out-organized by the mullahs, the 27 member states of the EU are now more cognizant of the Iranian regime’s deceptive financial practices to secure funding for its nuclear weapons program and its terror entity, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

This move comes on the heels of the U.S. Congress’s recently passed hard-hitting sanctions, aiming at Iran’s vulnerable energy sector and its IRGC. The IRGC are the hard-line Ahmadinejad loyalists who crushed the country’s pro-democracy movement a year ago.
