The EU has imposed a new range of sanctions on Iran intended to hit the country’s treasury and increase pressure on its Islamic regime over its nuclear programme.

Europe’s governments were today ordered by a court to follow the UK’s lead and take Iran’s main opposition group off a blacklist of suspected terror organisations.

Members of the Iranian resistance movement rallied in London’s Parliament Square today and called on the British government and the United Nations Security Council to “stop the mullahs’ unbridled terrorism” against innocent Iraqi citizens and Iranian political refugees in Ashraf City.
