Key Iranian entities and individuals face asset freezes and travel bans.

Iran has condemned the latest sanctions imposed by the European Union and the United Kingdom, which target Iranian individuals and entities allegedly involved in transferring ballistic missiles to Russia.

A spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry labeled the allegations as baseless, refuting claims of military support to Russia's conflict in Ukraine. The European Union will impose sanctions on critical Iranian airlines and officials, while Britain added its own designations to the sanctions regime.

Maqsoud Asadi Samani, Secretary of the Association of Iranian Airlines, indicated that these sanctions would disrupt Iranian airlines' operations to Europe. The sanctions involve asset freezes and travel bans, affecting high-ranking officials and industry leaders.
