Islamic Republic sanctions Christians for Israel Foundation
According to a statement, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sanctioned the Christians for Israel Foundation and 12 other institutions in the European Union.
According to Hamshahri Online, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has imposed sanctions on the European Union and the United Kingdom in a statement as a reciprocal action by the European Union and the United Kingdom for calling the IRGC a supporter of terrorism, inciting and encouraging terrorist acts and violence against the Iranian people, interfering in the internal affairs of the Islamic Republic, promoting violence against the Iranian people, and participating in intensifying the oppressive sanctions against Iran.
The list of sanctions imposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic includes 13 organizations and 23 individuals in the European Union and the United Kingdom. The list also includes the Christians for Israel Foundation and the Jewish Pro-Israel Organization. However, the Christians for Israel Foundation announced that these sanctions will not affect the foundation because the organization has no bank accounts or assets in Iran.
Frank Van Evert, executive director of the Christian Foundation, also said: "If the dictatorial regime of the Islamic Republic considers Christians a threat to Israel, then we have chosen the right path and this motivates us to continue to bear witness to God's love and compassion for his people."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all institutions of the Islamic Republic have put the necessary measures on their agenda to implement these sanctions, including banning visas, preventing entry into Iran, blocking bank accounts, and seizing property and assets in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Islamic Republic.
After issuing this statement, it is not unlikely that the Islamic Republic regime will also implement these sanctions against Christians inside Iran. Seizing their property, freezing their accounts, and depriving them of the right to education and employment.
It should be noted that this statement was issued while the Joe Biden administration is trying to prevent the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guard Corps from being listed as a terrorist organization, and Britain has not yet announced a definitive decision. The European Union and Britain have also not yet taken action to close bank accounts and seize assets of the Islamic Republic's agents. The Islamic Republic's regime is not only looting the country's and people's property under various pretexts, but it has also put on its agenda the seizure of assets and closing bank accounts of Europeans in favor of the Islamic Republic's regime.
