Iran accuses EU of 'surrendering its sovereignty' by backing US sanctions

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said that the European Union's stance of siding with the US is an indication of its "moral decay and political incompetence". "The #EU appears to be surrendering its sovereignty, its laws & regulations, its values and its ethics to American coercion," Esmaeil Baqaei wrote in a post on X. "The Union’s endorsement of America’s unlawful economic war constitutes a grave violation of international law, too. Every EU member state shall be held accountable for the consequences of its contribution to this wrongful act," he added.
