EU Set to Sanction Iran for Missile Transfers to Russia
European Union foreign ministers will impose measures against individuals and organizations linked to the transfer of ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia.
- The sanctions, expected to be approved on Monday, target 14 individuals and organizations, including airlines, involved in the missile transfers.
- The EU's decision follows U.S. intelligence reports and sanctions that claimed Iran supplied ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine.
- Iranian officials admitted to supplying short-range rockets to Russia but denied transferring ballistic missiles since the current government took office.
- Discussions are ongoing within the EU about potentially designating Iran's Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization, a move supported by a German court ruling.
- The EU's sanction package is part of a broader strategy to respond decisively to the alleged missile transfers, requiring unanimous agreement from all 27 member countries.
