German FM says several European countries looking at extending sanctions against Iran

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says she has noticed that a number of players at the European level have said they would take another look at extending an existing EU sanctions regime against Iran that targets drone production.

Baerbock had campaigned with France and other EU partners last autumn to extend the European Union sanctions regime.

“I hope that we can now finally take this step together as the EU,” says Baerbock in Berlin at a news conference with her Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi.

A virtual meeting of EU foreign ministers on the tensions in the Middle East is planned for today.
