Iran’s Foreign Ministry has slapped sanctions against a number of British individuals and institutes for their support of terrorism, inciting violence, and violating human rights.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced the embargoes as a “tit for tat” move against the sanctions that have been imposed by some European countries on Iran.

The sanctions are imposed on the British entities “due to their intentional actions in supporting terrorism and terrorist groups, promoting and inciting terrorism, violence, and hatred, and violating human rights,” reads part of the statement.
