Israel’s Foreign Minister Gidon Saar has praised the European Union’s decision to widen sanctions on Iran, calling it “necessary” to combat the threats from Iran, AFP reports.

In a post on X, Saar wrote that the fresh EU sanctions announced yesterday, imposed over Iran’s support for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which Iran denies, were “necessary steps in the international community’s fight against the Iranian threat, which constitutes the greatest danger to the security and stability of the Middle East, Europe, and the entire world. “
