The European Union on Monday announced an expansion of sanctions against Iran following its longstanding support for Russia in its war against Ukraine. The new sanctions include targeting vessels and ports involved in the transfer of drones and missiles.
The 27-nation group has decided to ban any deal with ports used to transport Iranian drones, missiles or Russian-linked technology and components, it said in a statement during a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
Meanwhile, Britain also announced new sanctions earlier today against the Iranian airline, the Iranian shipping company and the Russian ship Port Olya-3, according to an update from the British government.
