Iran criticises EU shipping sanctions, denies sending missiles to Russia

Iran has condemned European sanctions on its state-run shipping company and other entities, saying they were based on 'fake claims' that it sent ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the Ukraine war.

'The actions of the European Union and the United Kingdom in imposing sanctions against Iran under this pretext are entirely unjustifiable and lack any legitimacy, legal basis, or logical foundation,' Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmail Baghaei said in a statement on Tuesday.
