Breaking news... The European Union has reached a political agreement to tighten sanctions on Iran in retaliation for the recent barrage launched against Israel. The sanctions are designed to curtail the exports of EU-made components used in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, and ballistic missiles. The bloc had previously set up a dedicated regime to target Iranian-made drones, which the country has used to prop up Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The so-called "kamikaze" Shahed drones have been launched against critical infrastructure and residential buildings, killing dozens, and possibly hundreds, of Ukranians. The scheme has also blacklisted people and entities involved in Iran's UAV programme through travel bans and asset-freezing measures. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/04/22/eu-countries-agree-to-slap-new-sanctions-on-iran-to-curtail-drone-and-missile-production
