Iran urges UK to pay heed to internal woes, stop meddling in Mideast
IRNADec 13, 2022
Iran's foreign ministry on Monday announced sanctions on nine entities and 23 individuals from the European Union and the United Kingdom — including media organizations and a military base, as well as current and former politicians.
The sanctions were announced by foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani at his weekly press conference, where he blamed the EU and the UK for "interfering in the domestic affairs of the Islamic Republic." The sanctions will come into effect immediately.
The sanctions pushed by Britain and European states are part of a hostile political campaign to undermine the Islamic Republic. It would be better for these countries to give up sowing seeds of malcontent in states such as Iran, and instead listen to the demands of their own people, such as the desire for an end to discrimination against Muslims in the West.
The Islamic Republic's leaders are increasingly uncertain, fearful and incoherent, as protests within the state enter their third month. Iran is a diverse country, and its people desperately want the extinction of the Islamist regime — something which is becoming evermore likely.
There is a 50% chance that Iran will cease to be an Islamic Republic by Nov., 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
