The European Union is preparing to impose further sanctions against Iran over a deadly crackdown on protests triggered by the death of a young Iranian woman, according to people familiar with the issue.

Envoys to the EU meeting in Brussels are set to back proposals as soon as Wednesday targeting several Iranian individuals and entities, said the people who asked not to be named on confidential talks. The measures would then be discussed by EU foreign ministers early next week.
