EU to Sanction Iran for Supplying Russia with Drones to Attack Ukraine
(Washington Post) Emily Rauhala - The EU is preparing to sanction Iran for supplying Russia with drones used to strike targets in Ukraine, with an eye toward having the measures formally adopted Thursday, according to two EU diplomats. There is broad support for the sanctions, the diplomats said, despite some fears that taking a tough stand could further diminish hopes of resurrecting the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. At a meeting last week, senior NATO and Western officials confirmed that Russia was using Iranian-made drones to hit Ukrainian targets. Iran has denied it is supplying Russia with drones for use in Ukraine.
