Iran International:

The United Kingdom introduced fresh trade sanctions against Iran targeting its defense industry on Monday, a week after accusing Iran of delivering ballistic missiles to Russia.

The new measures aim to cut off financing and delivery to Iran of material deemed to have military uses.

“These measures will disrupt Iran’s production and supply of unmanned aerial vehicles and missiles, and further increase the pressure on Iran’s defense industry,” the UK government said in a statement.

But with potential costs to Iran estimated at below £10 million annually according to the statement, the economic impact on Tehran may prove minimal.

The UK has advocated for allowing Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles inside Russia and British naval forces have been deployed to the Red Sea for nearly a year to guard commercial shipping against attacks from the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen.
