The European Union has blacklisted Russia over money laundering risks, a move that will slow and raise the cost of transactions with Russian banks, according to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. In parallel, the EU has designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organisation, signalling a tougher stance on Tehran while warning that the Middle East does not need a new war. The decisions come amid renewed diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine conflict, ongoing battlefield violence, and rising regional tensions linked to Iran, sanctions, and security concerns.
