The European Union has announced sanctions against more than a dozen Iranian individuals and firms, including the country's deputy defence minister and national airline, over the alleged transfer of missiles and drones to Russia.
Ursula von der Leyen stated, 'The Iranian regime's support to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is unacceptable and must stop... More is needed.' This illustrates the EU's firm stance against Iran's military support to Russia.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha echoed the sentiment, stating that those who support aggression must share responsibility and pay the price, reinforcing the accountability narrative around the sanctions.
Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the sanctions as contrary to international law, emphasizing their position that claims of supplying missiles to Russia are unfounded and politically motivated.
