Iran condemns EU sanctions: no rocket deliveries to Russia!

Teheran, Iran - Tehran raises the alarm: Iran condemns the upcoming EU sanctions with sharp words, which are supposed to be directed to Russia because of the alleged delivery of ballistic rockets. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi unequivocally clarified: "Iran does not deliver ballistic rockets to Russia." He described the planned punishments as absurd and an excuse to put additional pressure on Tehran. "If the Europeans are definitely looking for an excuse, they should come up with something else," he added.

On Monday, the EU countries want to impose new sanctions that are supposed to affect companies and people who are involved in Iran's rocket program and weapon transfers in Russia. The state airline Iran Air is also on the list of intended punitive measures. However, Iran emphasizes that his "strategic cooperation" with Moscow has nothing to do with the Ukraine War and rejects military aid for warring parties as inhuman.
