This was reported by the Office of the Israeli Prime Minister.

“So far, people in the Middle East are bravely opposing Iran and its minions ... European countries are trying to circumvent US sanctions against Iran,” Netanyahu said.

According to him, the time has come for European countries to change course and “increase pressure on Iran,” following the example of the United States.

“While Iran is in a hurry to enrich uranium for the production of nuclear weapons, European countries are in a hurry to appease Iran with even greater concessions. These European countries should be ashamed of themselves, ”the Israeli Prime Minister emphasized.

On November 22, the United States imposed sanctions against the Iranian Minister of Communications and Information for blocking the Internet for several days amid protests in the country.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry, in turn, expressed the opinion that democratic values ​​and human rights do not matter for the US government.

Later, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo promised to increase sanctions pressure on Tehran due to the reaction of the Iranian authorities to the protests in the country.
