The European Union prepares sanctions against Iran for supplying missiles from Russia

The European Union is preparing decisive actions in response to Iran's supply of ballistic missiles to Russia. According to Bloomberg, the EU plans to impose sanctions on dozens of Iranian individuals and legal entities associated with the engineering, metallurgical, and aviation sectors.

The first package of restrictions will be approved at the EU leaders' summit in Brussels at the end of October. These sanctions will be the first step in response to the missile supplies, and European diplomats are already considering the possibility of expanding sanctions lists in the future.

Meanwhile, the US has announced its intention to impose its own sanctions against Iran not only for cooperation with Russia but also for the recent attack on Israel. Washington urges allies to support these restrictive measures.

According to Western intelligence estimates, last month Iran supplied a significant number of ballistic missiles to Russia. This has already led to sanctions from the US, Germany, France, and the UK. Additionally, Tehran is accused of providing Moscow with strike drones and other weaponry.

It is worth noting that the Iranian authorities deny the fact of missile supplies to Russia. However, Western countries are determined to effectively counteract such cooperation, which may significantly impact the course of the conflict in Ukraine.
