The Danish Foreign Ministry and EU diplomats on Tuesday said the European Union has agreed to place a unit of the Iranian intelligence ministry and two of its staff on its terrorist list for planning assassinations in Europe.
The decision, which freezes financial assets in the bloc belonging to the unit and the two individuals, comes after Denmark said last year it suspected an Iranian government intelligence service of carrying out an assassination plot on its soil.
France has said there was no doubt the Iranian intelligence ministry was behind a failed attack in Paris.
Iran has denied any involvement in the alleged plots, saying the accusations were intended to damage EU-Iran relations.
