Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna emphasized the importance of weakening the Iranian regime in enhancing the security of Europe. He pointed out that Estonia supports the European Union's sanctions against Iran due to severe human rights violations committed by the regime, which have resulted in thousands of deaths. These sanctions aim to counter the oppressive measures employed by Iran and respond to its support for Russia in the ongoing aggression against Ukraine.

In his remarks, Tsahkna highlighted that the Iranian government's actions not only threaten the region but also pose risks to Europe, necessitating a united European response. He reiterated Estonia's commitment to uphold human rights and support solidarity with nations affected by repression. The sanctions are part of a broader strategy aimed at holding Iran accountable for its actions and protecting European security interests.

This stance reflects a growing concern within the EU regarding Iran's influence and activities that undermine regional stability. The Estonian government’s position underscores the interconnectedness of various geopolitical issues, including the impact of Iran's policies on the conflict in Ukraine and their implications for European security.
