Iran rejects new sanctions by EU and United Kingdom

Tehran, Oct 15 (Prensa Latina) The Iranian government has condemned the European Union (EU) for imposing new sanctions on a number of the country's individuals and institutions based on false and unfounded pretexts, local media reported in this capital on Tuesday.

IRNA quoted statements made by Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei Hamaneh, who rejected Western accusations over Iran’s alleged sale of ballistic missiles to Russia.

Baghaei stated on Monday that his country’s position on the conflict in Ukraine was clear and sought a diplomatic solution to the differences between Russia and Ukraine.

The news agency adds that the spokesman also described the accusations of the EU and the United Kingdom as deceitful and an attempt to divert public opinion from the most significant issue of the genocide of the Palestinian people and the Israeli regime’s warmongering in the region.

IRNA also stresses that Baghaei, referring to the role of some European countries, including Great Britain and Germany, in supplying lethal weapons used by Israel for genocide and aggression in Gaza and Lebanon, said these European countries are partners in the crimes committed against the Palestinian and Lebanese people.
