Relationship context
Overview
Lithuania has supported restrictive measures against Iran through the European Union and has called for stronger action against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. These policies reflect substantial disagreement, particularly over security and human-rights concerns. Information about direct Iranian government conduct toward Lithuania is insufficient to assess that aspect of the relationship.

Major uncertainties
