It is known from the Bloomberg news agency that official Brussels intends to introduce a package of sanctions against Iran for the supply of ballistic missiles to the Russian Federation, which is considered an aggressor.
The European Union continues to put pressure on Iran, including sanctions. The US is also preparing to impose sanctions on Iran for provocative actions, including the recent strike on Israel. The head of Eurorad has already put forward clear demands to Tehran.
Iran will come under new EU sanctions. According to insider journalists, the first package of measures will affect about a dozen individuals and legal entities, mainly representing engineering, metallurgical and aviation companies.
Restrictions from the EU will be the first response to the supply of missiles, and additional lists are currently being considered, the journalists' interlocutors said.
Another anonymous source told reporters that the United States plans to impose sanctions on Iran for its recent attack on Israel. Official Washington insists that the allies do the same.
More and more countries are imposing sanctions against Iran. As mentioned earlier, on September 10, the American government officially confirmed the delivery of ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia. According to the US statement, this indicates a further deepening of military relations between Moscow and Tehran.
The head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, proposed sanctions to member countries for Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia. The UK and the US have already announced their packages of sanctions against Iran and Russia. Moreover, on September 23, the head of the Eurorad, Charles Michel, met in New York with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and tried to put pressure on him on the issue of supplying missiles to Russia for the war against Ukraine.
According to journalists, Michel told Pezeshkian that relations between Iran and Europe are at their lowest level. He put pressure on the Iranian president on issues of human rights, the nuclear program, regional destabilization, the supply of missiles and European prisoners in Iran. “This became known on September 23, 2024.”
