UK matches EU sanctions over Iran drones in Ukraine
The UK government imposes sanctions on three Iranian generals and an arms firm over Russia’s use of Iranian drones to bomb Ukraine, matching EU sanctions announced earlier.
The Treasury adds Iranian drone maker Shahed Aviation Industries and three top Iranian military officials to its sanctions list, citing the supply of drones to Russia “for use in their illegal invasion of Ukraine.”
