The courage of the Iranian people is humbling.
The brutal response by the security forces is unacceptable and exposes a regime afraid of its own people.
The EU already has sweeping sanctions in place on Iran. We are now discussing putting additional sanctions.

The brutal actions taken by the Iranian regime against its own people are shocking. We emphatically call on #Iran to end the violence against its own citizens and to respect their rights. The Iranian Ambassador was summoned to the Federal Foreign Office today.

Iranian and “Arabic-speaking” suppression forces have set up camp in Hamedan and are patrolling the city. The town is effectively under martial law, with military forces searching anyone they suspect. However, the protests continue sporadically.

Metsola puts her hawkish tone on Iran into business at the European Parliament. This is comparable to the ban on Russian and Belarussian diplomats on EP premises enacted after the 2022 full invasion of Ukraine.
It cannot be business as usual.
As the brave people of Iran continue to stand up for their rights and their liberty, today I have taken the decision to ban all diplomatic staff and any other representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran from all European Parliament premises.

Hungary and Armenia will be the next electoral battlefields where Russia is spending a lot of money and resources.
Threats of a “special military operation” in the latter have already begun, in case their campaign fails.

Russia is already targeting Armenia’s June 2026 elections, pushing anti-EU and anti-West narratives, claiming the West is “taking over” and planning election fraud - with zero evidence.
Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov has even hinted at a possible “SVO” in Armenia:
