European Parliament President Roberta Metsola announced a ban on Iranian diplomats and officials entering the parliament building, reflecting EU support for ongoing protests in Iran.

The move is part of a series of sanctions targeting individuals and institutions linked to the security apparatus and the Revolutionary Guard.

Tehran responded by summoning European ambassadors, calling the decision an interference in domestic affairs and diplomatically unacceptable.

Observers anticipate rising tensions between the two sides amid continued unrest in Iran and expanding international criticism of how authorities are handling the protests.
