City42: Britain announced new sanctions on Iran’s military drone industry.
Great Britain announced new sanctions by accepting the confidence of America and Canada. The UK move is aimed at limiting Iran’s ability to carry out drone strikes.
British Foreign Minister David Cameron said in connection with these sanctions that Iran threatened the lives of thousands of citizens with a dangerous attack on Israel. These attacks raised fears of spreading tension in the region.
Britain imposed sanctions on Iranian military officials and institutions following last week’s attack on Israel, and took these measures in consultation with the United States.
Iran has attacked Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles two weeks after Israel attacked its consulate in the Syrian capital Damascus, sparking fears of a further escalation in the Middle East.
