The EU is considering sanctions against Iran for its participation in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The FT writes that the EU’s foreign ministers have warned of new sanctions against Iran if Tehran’s involvement in Russia’s war against Ukraine is confirmed. It is noted that in recent weeks, Ukraine has reported several Russian attacks using Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones. Iran denies supplying drones to Russia, and the Kremlin has not commented on the situation.  On October 17, Kyiv suffered a powerful drone attack. “This will be discussed, and we will look for concrete evidence of Iran’s participation in the war,” said the EU’s chief diplomat, Josep Borrell.  The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, appealed to the Council of Foreign Ministers of the EU countries to introduce sanctions against Iran for providing Russia with drones and requested additional air defense and ammunition for Ukraine.
