On the website of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is stated that EU parliamentarian Charlie Weimers, together with a number of other EU parliamentarians, is sanctioned by Iran.
They are not allowed into the country.
Iran condemns the EU's decision to impose sanctions on the country.
“I consider it an honor.
The regime has once again exposed its true face in recent weeks.
I hope the government and the EU now tighten their Iran policy," writes Charlie Weimers in a text message to SVT.
On Twitter, he writes that he looks forward to "one day visiting a secular and democratic Iran".
