Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns attempts by the Iranian government to silence foreign media after issuing sanctions to foreign media outlets, in countries such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The sanctions highlight another way in which the regime continues to crackdown on free and independent media, RSF says.
Iran has announced tit-for-tat sanctions against institutions and individuals in the European Union due to their deliberate actions in support of terrorism and terrorist groups.
