A resolution approved by the European Parliament on the 3 April 2014 defended that the EU should exploit the current window of opportunity of nuclear talks and internal developments in Iran, which favour both domestic reform and better EU-Iran relations,

It also called on the EU to be more active in addressing the human rights situation and in supporting civil society in Iran.

The Islamic republic reacted angrily to the resolution.
