EU summons Iran's ambassador in Brussels over protest crackdown

The European Union has summoned Iran's ambassador in Brussels over the Islamic republic's response to the nationwide protests, an EU official said Tuesday on condition of anonymity.

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen earlier Tuesday said the bloc was "swiftly" moving towards drafting further sanctions on Iran over the "horrifying" number of people said to have been killed and wounded in the government's crackdown.
