Iran sanctions: US and UK extend measures against Tehran – By Ruth Comerford (BBC News) / April 18, 2024
The US and UK have imposed a new wave of sanctions against Iran, following its drone attack on Israel.
Washington targeted 16 people and two entities that produce engines for the drones.
The UK Foreign Office imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on seven individuals and six entities, including those involved in drone and missile programmes.
Both countries already have hundreds of sanctions in place against Iran.
The latest move follows Israel’s call for support from the international community after Iran’s direct assault on Saturday, involving more than 300 missiles and drones fired from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Almost all were downed by Israel and its allies.
