Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has strongly condemned the move by the European Union and the UK regime to impose sanctions on a number of Iranian individuals and legal entities. “The move by the European Union and the UK regime shows their mental inability to correctly understand the realities of Iran and their confusion regarding the power of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the foreign ministry spokesman said. Kanaani also said the recent sanctions by Europe and the UK against some members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly as well as  judiciary, military, law enforcement and cultural officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran are a show of their desperation, disillusionment and anger over their recent humiliating defeat in fomenting instability in Iran, despite their efforts and heavy investment. He added that they know well that sanctions will not undermine the will and determination of the Iranian nation in countering foreign interference and plots. The foreign ministry spokesman concluded by saying that the Islamic Republic of Iran reserves the right to take reciprocal action on such failed policies and will soon announce a new list of sanctions against violators of human rights and promoters of terrorism in the European Union and the UK.
