US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, joined by UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, said the US would impose fresh sanctions on Iran, accusing the country of sending short-range ballistic missiles to Russia to be used in Ukraine – a move swiftly replicated by the UK, France, and Germany, according to a joint statement. Iran "rejected" the accusation, which it called "lies" and "propaganda" used to cover up Western countries' arms support to Israel.
