Blinken: We're sanctioning Iran over missile transfer to Russia
The Secretary of State said that the United States would be adding new sanctions, including on Iran Air, for providing Russia with weapons it will likely use against Ukraine in the coming weeks.

American Secretary of State Blinken announced today (Tuesday) that the United States would be sanctioning Iran, including Iran Air, for transferring missiles to Russia, according to the Washington Post.
"We’ve warned Tehran publicly, we’ve warned Tehran privately, that taking this step would be a dangerous escalation," Blinken said.
Until recently, Tehran has supplied Russia with multiple drones but has held off on providing heavier weaponry, possibly due to fear of retaliation.
Meanwhile, an Iranian parliamentarian suggested the decision to provide Russia with missiles was due to a desire for Russian agricultural products such as soy and wheat, which would aid Iran's deteriorating economic situation.
