The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that Iran imposed retaliatory sanctions against nine organizations and 23 individuals from the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Earlier, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell announced that a new sanctions package is being prepared against Iran for its alleged support of Russia in the Ukraine war.

On Telegram, the Ministry confirmed that it "imposes sanctions against institutions and individuals in the European Union and the United Kingdom because of their actions to support terrorism and terrorist groups, incitement to violence, riots, terrorist attacks against the Iranian people."

"Among them are Radio Zamaneh, Radio Farda, Charlie Hebdo magazine, the UK Royal Air Force Menwith Hill, facilities of the British Navy, as well as the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom," it indicated.

In a separate context, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasser Kanaani, reiterated that the "Gulf Trio islands are an integral and eternal part of Iran," pointing out that "any claim about these islands as an interference in the internal affairs and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We condemn such claims from any side."

Kanaani once again touched on the 43rd meeting of the heads of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with the presence of the Chinese official, condemning "any baseless accusations raised in the final statement of the meeting."

The Iranian spokesperson indicated that Iran adheres to the neighborhood policy based on cooperation and common interests and supports any initiative in regional issues.

He also said his country "will stick to regional cooperation based on principles and common interests, as well as neighborhood policy, and we will continue our efforts in this direction."

Tehran does not accept any meddling actions in its internal affairs

Touching on anti-Iran sanctions imposed by Western countries over the recent riots in the country, Kanaani underlined that Tehran does not accept "any intervention and meddling actions in the internal affairs of the country and consider such actions as unconstructive and contradictory to the United Nations Charter and international regulations and mechanisms."

The Iranian diplomat added that "Iran is rightful to react and take countermeasures, and it will use its recognized rights in the diplomatic field in this regard."

Russia-Iran defense cooperation not against any third country.

Regarding Western claims that Iran provided Russia with military equipment to use in Ukraine, Kanaani reiterated that "the cooperation between Iran and Russia is based on common interests in various fields and the defense cooperation of the two countries is not against any third country."

"As we have said many times we did not provide weapons or military assistance to any side in this war, and we emphasize again that Iran has always tried and is ready to use its relations and capabilities to help the two countries to reach a political solution," he stressed.

"Claims against Iran are politically motivated and are made by countries that send weapons to one side of the war," he added.

As for the situation in Afghanistan, Kanaani said Iran has been making maximum efforts to help develop stability and ensure security in the neighboring country, adding that the case of Afghan refugees is an important issue to which international attention should be paid.
