Iran Summons European Envoys Over Missile Transfer Accusations

Tehran denies supplying ballistic missiles to Russia amid new Western sanctions.

Iran's foreign ministry summoned the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany, and the Netherlands on Thursday.
The summoning follows accusations from the U.S. and European nations that Iran supplied ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine.
Iran has strongly denied the claims, calling them 'false and misleading' and condemning the new sanctions imposed by the U.S. and Europe.
The new sanctions include measures against Iran's national airline, Iran Air, and the cancellation of air services agreements with European nations.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that Russia had received missiles from Iran and could deploy them in Ukraine within weeks, a claim both Iran and Russia have dismissed as baseless.
