EU moves to sanction Iranian officials over Hormuz blockade
EU nations moved Friday toward imposing sanctions on Iranian officials and others involved in blocking the Strait of Hormuz, calling the blockade “contrary to international law.”
The bloc took a technical step to expand its existing Iran sanctions framework, allowing more individuals to be listed under the regime.
“The EU will now be able to introduce further restrictive measures in response to Iran's actions undermining the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” the European Council representing EU nations said.
