European Council says 14 individuals and entities subject to asset freeze and travel ban.
The European Union has announced sanctions against more than a dozen Iranian individuals and firms, including the country’s deputy defence minister and national airline, over the alleged transfer of missiles and drones to Russia.
The European Council said on Monday that seven individuals and as many entities in total would be subject to an asset freeze and travel ban over their involvement in transferring weapons and equipment to Moscow for use in its war against Ukraine.
Those targeted include Iranian Deputy Defence Minister Seyed Hamzeh Ghalandari, high-ranking members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, and three Iranian airlines, including Iran Air.
