Wed Sep 11 08:17:25 UTC 2024: ## US and Europe Impose New Sanctions on Iran Over Missile Transfers to Russia
**Washington, D.C.** – The United States and Europe have announced new sanctions against Iran, targeting its aviation sector, for supplying Russia with short-range ballistic missiles. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that these transfers directly support Russia’s war effort in Ukraine.
The sanctions, coordinated with European allies, aim to further cripple Iran’s already struggling aviation industry. Specific details about the targeted individuals and entities remain undisclosed.
This move comes amidst growing concerns over Iran’s military support for Russia, which has been condemned by the international community. The transfer of missiles is seen as a significant escalation in Iranian involvement in the conflict and has drawn condemnation from Western powers.
The Biden administration has vowed to continue holding Iran accountable for its actions and has cautioned that further sanctions may follow if Iran continues to aid Russia.
