Turkey's economy is currently not in a good place. 1 USD = 7.78 Lira. Unlike Iran Turkey does not have natural resources to fall back on and is extremely dependent on tourism and trade from the EU.
All across the board, Turkey has had partial victories against ethnic groups and various regional militias. However these victories have come at a heavy cost, along with some setbacks. The most important aspect to keep in mind is that Turkey has not benefited economically from these offensives, while paying a very cost in blood and treasure.
Biden has pretty much stated that he wants regime change in Turkey by backing the opposition. If the EU goes ahead with sanctions against Turkey, the end result would be devastating for the Turkish economy. Erdogan has already asked Turks to boycott French goods.
The EU is upset that Turkey is conducting gas drilling operations in the Mediterranean in close proximity to southern Cyprus. For a few weeks Turkey ceased these controversial operations, however as talks with Greece broke down, Turkish drilling ships quickly got back to work.
Now some officials in the EU are vowing to sanction Turkey, but not just over Turkey's drilling in the Mediterranean.
EU nations, especially France and Germany are concerned over perceived Turkish belligerent behavior in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).
EU nations like France are concerned with perceived Turkish aggression, including Turkish land grabs and the establishment of Turkish bases in the territory of sovereign nations like Syria and Iraq without their formal approval.
The fact that Turkey continues to fuel various regional conflicts (Syria, Libya, etc) and send radical militants to various warzones is another contentious issue.
Only time will tell what the future holds but right now things seem to be escalating.

Israel, Zionists are doing this to sabotage the Iran nuclear deal, since they know that Biden wants to return to it, which would be a huge boon for Iran's economy. In recent days, the Rial has risen significantly against the dollar compared to previous weeks/months.
With a vaccine on the horizon and opportunity for the re-establishment of the nuclear deal, things are actually looking up for Iran. Iran's enemies know this and so they're trying anything they can to sabotage Iran's future by trying to escalate things.
I know that it's easy to get emotional when things like this happen but I'm sure Khamenei, Rohani and Iran's leadership will respond in a thoughtful, methodical and calculated manner, like the way they did when Qassem Soleimani was killed.
The Zionists are trying to set a trap for Iran. The intelligent thing to do here is to respond in kind in due time in a way that counts, when the enemy isn't aware or on guard. However Iran should still return to the nuclear deal, without it I fear that Iran's economy will never recover.
