"I think imposing sanctions in Iran important," Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden Tobias Billström told reporters before a meeting of the EU Council on Foreign Relations, APA reports.

"The serious accusations against the Iranian government regarding the sale of drones used by Russia in Ukraine to Iran is something that we must pay attention to. My position as the Swedish Foreign Minister is that sanctions are very important to stop the Iranian government's ambitions to sell drones. This will show our open position and signal to Tehran that the use of drones against Ukraine is unacceptable. This trade must be stopped. Sanctions must also be applied to those who sell these drones," he said.
