For example, Canada’s foreign minister, Melanie Joly, backed women taking to the streets of Iran in protest, hosted a meeting to show Canada’s solidarity with Iranian women fighting inside the country, and sanctioned every major Iranian government body.EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said that the 27-member block was “considering” sanctions on Iran over Amini’s death.In early October, the UK ambassador to Iran, Simon Shercliff, criticized the regime’s crackdown, but no major steps were taken by the British government against Tehran.However, the British government now has to deal with the Alireza Akbari issue; a British-Iranian dual national accused of espionage and sentenced to death.However, on October 20, White House National Security Coordinator for Communications John Kirby announced a tough position on the Iranian regime’s weapons sales to Moscow: “We’re going to continue to stand with our partners throughout the Middle East region against the Iranian threat.” Despite this declaration, the United States and its European allies refuse to close the door to the nuclear deal and the diplomatic approach with Iran, no matter if Iran is also providing drones to Russia to be used in Ukraine."
