Kallas stated that the EU supports the desire of the "Iranians" to overthrow the regime.
Brussels supports the Iranian citizens in their desire to overthrow the regime in the Islamic Republic, said the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, at a joint press conference with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. The event is being streamed on YouTube by DRM News.
"For the regime to fall, there needs to be an alternative within the country. That is why the EU actively supports civil society," the EU official noted.
At the same time, as Kallas emphasized, "it is still unclear whether the regime will fall or not."
Earlier, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU is developing a new package of sanctions against Iran in connection with the suppression of anti-government protests in the country.
