• Europe responded with sanctions to the drift of the Iranian regime, one of the main focal points of global instability.
• The sanction is against Iran's Revolutionary Guard, considered a 'terrorist organization' by Brussels.
• The EU Council hardens its stance against Tehran.
• The EU's decision was influenced by the violent repression of the Iranian dictatorial apparatus against its citizens.
• European support for Iranian society against a system that oppresses its people is emphasized.
• The EU has changed its tone towards Tehran after betting on nuclear negotiation over the defence of human rights.

Conclusion: The sanctions are a first step that sends a message to the Iranian regime that the only solution is to end repression and open diplomatic channels for atomic de-escalation.
