The European Union's concerns about Iran extend beyond its nuclear program, said EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas Thursday, citing Tehran’s support for Russia and detention of European citizens.
“Our concerns with Iran are larger than nuclear,” Kallas said after meeting with European foreign ministers in Rome.
“Its support for Russia and the continued detention of EU citizens in Iran are also issues.”
The statement comes amid rising tensions between Iran and Western governments following a resolution by the IAEA Board of Governors declaring Iran in non-compliance with its obligations.
