The publication of false and misleading reports about the transfer of Iranian weapons to some countries is simply an ugly propaganda to conceal the large illegal arms support of the United States and some Western countries for the genocide in Gaza,
Some Western countries present themselves as defenders of human rights and support the implementation of international conventions and treaties, but send all kinds of weapons to back the war crimes of the Zionist regime (Israel),
This act is an escalation by both Iran and Russia, and is a direct threat to European security,
We have been clear in that any transfer of ballistic missiles by Iran would face a significant response,
We call on Iran to immediately cease all support to Russia’s war against Ukraine and halt the development and transfers of its ballistic missiles,
We will be taking immediate steps to cancel bilateral air services agreements with Iran. In addition, we will pursue the designations of significant entities and individuals involved with Iran’s ballistic missile programme and the transfer of ballistic missiles and other weapons to Russia,
This is a further escalation of Iran’s military support to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and will see Iranian missiles reaching European soil, increasing the suffering of the Ukrainian people,
This development and the growing cooperation between Russia and Iran threatens European security,
We will also work towards imposing sanctions on Iran Air,
We believe in the statute of Rome,
Iran's new president and foreign minister have repeatedly said that they want to restore engagement with Europe,
