UK Sanctions Iran-Airline: Britain imposed sanctions against Iran’s national airline and Islamic Republic of Iran shipping lines on Monday 18 November. Britain said that these bans have been imposed in response to Iran’s delivery of ballistic missiles to Russia. Britain has accused Iran Air and IRISL of helping Russia by providing weapons for the Ukraine war.
Britain has also said that the assets of these companies will be seized. This ban has been raised due to their alleged role so that any kind of cooperation with Russia can be stopped. Britain has done all this to put pressure on Iran. Missile and UAV (drone) technology has been banned. The European Union has banned the export, transfer, supply, and sale of components that can be used in the manufacture of missiles and drones.
Deal restrictions on ports and services
Access to Iranian ports on the Caspian Sea, such as Amirabad and Anzali, has been restricted. There is a ban on providing services to ships of Iranian individuals and institutions. At the same time, the British have frozen all the assets of Iran Air and IRISL in Britain. IRISL has been sanctioned for helping in the war in Ukraine by supplying weapons.
Tehran’s response to sanctions
Iran rejected these sanctions as “wrong and unfair”. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of maritime law. At the same time, Iran claimed that it is not involved in supplying any weapons for the Russia-Ukraine war. Let us tell you that this will affect Iran’s shipping and oil production. However, despite these sanctions, Iran has been able to increase its oil production to 3.4 million barrels per day.
The new sanctions imposed on Iran are not just a part of political pressure. This step has been taken to stop the Russia-Ukraine war and activities affecting global stability. However, Iran views these sanctions as illegal and a conspiracy to increase economic pressure.
