EU and Allies Impose Sanctions on Iran for Missile Transfers to Russia
The European Union, alongside the UK and Australia, targets Iranian officials and airlines over alleged arms support to Russia amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
- The EU has sanctioned seven Iranian officials and three airlines, including Iran Air, for allegedly supplying missiles and drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.
- Iran's Deputy Defense Minister Seyed Hamzeh Ghalandari and senior members of the Revolutionary Guard are among those facing asset freezes and travel bans.
- The sanctions come after Iran's claimed missile transfers to Russia, which the EU views as a significant escalation in the Ukraine conflict.
- Iran denies the accusations and condemns the sanctions, asserting its military cooperation with Russia does not involve the Ukraine war.
- The UK and Australia have also imposed sanctions following Iran's missile attack on Israel, highlighting growing international actions against Iran's military activities.
