The US, UK, Germany and France have announced a fresh round of sanctions against Iran after accusing Tehran of sending ballistic missiles to Russia for its war in Ukraine.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that Russia was expected to deploy the new missiles against Ukraine “within weeks”, as he appeared at a press conference alongside UK foreign secretary David Lammy in London.
Ukrainian officials told the Financial Times at the weekend that Iran had delivered a shipment of “more than 200” Fath-360 short-range ballistic missiles to Russia, which they said marked a “serious escalation” of Tehran’s support for Moscow in the conflict.
