The Council of the EU at the level of foreign ministers on Monday, November 18, plans to discuss new sanctions against Iran for helping Russia in the war against Ukraine.
Source: this was stated by an unnamed EU official at a briefing in Brussels, he was quoted by Radio Svoboda, reports Evropeyska Pravda
Details: Also, the heads of foreign affairs of the EU countries will discuss the reaction to the aid that Russia receives from third countries, in particular, North Korea.
“There will also be sanctions: we have a political agreement on the second package against Iran regarding the transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia… And we are already working on the fifteenth package (sanctions against Russia – Ed.)“, the official said.
According to him, the restrictive measures will be similar to those introduced in the first round: there are seven individuals and seven legal entities.
“Nothing drastic – just the addition of new people and the creation of new organizations. Basically, we want to continue the pressure on Iran, sending a clear message to Tehran that it should stop military cooperation with Russia,” the EU representative said.
According to Radio Svoboda, one individual and four legal companies will be included in the sanctions list.
Among them are three Russian shipping companies that deliver Iranian military goods to the Russian Federation, including drone components, as well as the national sea carrier of Iran.
It will be recalled that in October, the EU announced the introduction of sanctions against three Iranian airlines, four companies and seven individuals due to the supply of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones to Russia.
The day before, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, condemned the planned EU sanctions. He said that Iran has not supplied Russia with ballistic missiles.
