Britain and Portugal strongly condemn the Iranian leadership for the violent suppression of protests and the 'horrific and brutal killings' of protesters. Britain summoned the Iranian ambassador to express the seriousness of the situation and announced that it would submit a bill to impose new sanctions. Portugal, for its part, also summoned the Iranian ambassador and stated its readiness to strengthen existing sanctions, as part of European coordination. Both countries stressed the need to respect the rights of Iranian citizens.
