EC Establishes New Sanctions Targeting Iran's Support of Russia

The European Council on July 20 established a new framework for sanctions following Iran's support of Russia's war in Ukraine. The regime bars the export from the EU to Iran of parts used in the construction and production of unmanned aerial vehicles while also providing for sanctions against people responsible for Iran's UAV program, the council said. It also added six Iranian people, all of whom are currently listed under two existing sanctions regimes, for their roles in Iran's support of both Russian and Syrian aggression.
