“The so-called EU sanctions list has no basis in int'l law. It's just another failed #miscalculation,” Bagherpour wrote on his Twitter account.
The ambassador said that the fact that sanctions have targeted people seeking dialogue between West and Iran indicate that the EU is basically against any interaction with Iran.
“Adding the name of Chairman of Iran-Austria (& Iran-Germany) friendship group, despite his outstanding efforts, indicates a serious deviation from the principle of dialogue,” he added.
EU’s Foreign Affairs Council approved a fifth package of sanctions against Iran on Monday in line with its efforts to support recent riots in the country.
