The Iranian foreign minister says the EU flight ban targets ordinary Iranians based on claims even refuted by the Ukrainian president himself.

Ambassador Giola Peto was summoned to convey the Iranian protest to his country.

Iran has condemned new sanctions by the EU and the UK as an attempt to divert attention from Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

The move comes as President Masoud Pezeshkian has already stated that Iran has never supplied Russia with ballistic missiles.

Iran has once again rejected claims about supplying Russia with ballistic missiles amid reports that the EU will use the accusations as a pretext to impose sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

FM Araghchi has warned the US against any interference in the wake of Iran’s retaliatory operation against Israel.

North Korea has test-fired new ballistic missiles equipped with super-large warheads and modified cruise missiles.
