Statement by Minister Van Weel of Foreign Affairs on the situation in Iran
Statement by Minister of Foreign Affairs David van Weel on the situation in Iran, 12 January 2026.
Shocked and appalled by the images and stories coming out of Iran. I strongly condemn the use of violence against peaceful protesters.
Time for action: the EU should list the IRGC as a terrorist organization and impose targeted sanctions on human rights violators and those enabling repression through shutting down communication channels.
The violence should stop now.
