EU sanctions Iran, Russia for drone and weapons transport to Ukraine conflict

Firstpost  

The European Union has expanded sanctions against Iran, targeting the Islamic republic of Iran shipping lines and its director for aiding Russia its war with Ukraine by transporting UAVs and missile components The European Union has widened its sanctions against Iran over Tehran’s support of Russia in its war with Ukraine, the European Commission said on Monday.

The EU is also sanctioning three Russian shipping firms – MG Flot, VTS Broker, and Arapax – for transporting Iranian weapons, including drone parts, across the Caspian Sea to resupply Russian troops in Ukraine.
