In just three days, the European Union prepared and approved sanctions for Iran’s arms supplies to Russia.
The Council of the European Union approved on Thursday, October 20, the sanctions against Iran for the supply of drones to Russia. This was announced by the presidency of the Czech Republic.
“Sanctions on Iran in record time! After three days of negotiations, EU ambassadors agreed on measures against the organizations that supply Iranian drones that carried out strikes in Ukraine. Completed written procedure, the sanctions will take effect this afternoon after publication in the Official Journal (of the European Union)”, the message said.
It noted that “EU states have decided to freeze the assets of three individuals and a legal entity responsible for the supply of drones.”
Shahed Aviation Industries, as well as the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, Commander of the Aerospace Corps of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Syed Aghajani, and Khojatol Ghoreishi, who is in charge of logistics at the Iranian Ministry of Defense, fell under penalties.
As you know, Iranian authorities refuse the transfer of weapons to Russia, including kamikaze drones, which have recently been widely used in attacks on Ukraine.
