EU ministers set to back sanctions over protest crackdown in Iran

European Union foreign ministers are expected to greenlight sanctions over what the bloc calls Iran's violent repression of protests which swept the nation following the death in custody of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.


Iranian authorities insist Amini was not mistreated and the country's supreme leader has accused the US and Israel of inciting anti-government demonstrations. 


EU ministers are meeting for scheduled talks which are also set to focus on relations with China and Russia's war in Ukraine.


Rosie Birchard has more.
