Britain Sanctions Iranian Drone Manufacturer 'Paravar Pars' and Its Managers

Britain has sanctioned an Iranian drone manufacturing company and several foreign companies for supplying weapons and components needed by Russia for use against Ukraine. The UK Foreign Office stated that Iranian individuals and entities involved in the research, development, and production of drones for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have been sanctioned. The Iranian company 'Paravar Pars' and seven of its managers, who were previously sanctioned by the US in February, as well as two companies, 'Turk Union' and 'Azu International', based in Turkey and exporting microelectronics, are among those sanctioned by Britain. Since February, Britain, the US, and the EU have imposed a series of sanctions to punish Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow refers to as a 'special military operation'. In this context, the British government has imposed 25 new sanctions against several individuals and companies in Iran, Turkey, Belarus, Slovakia, Switzerland, the UAE, and Russia. James Cleverly, the UK Foreign Secretary, described these sanctions as 'historic', stating that they will weaken Russia's arsenal and disrupt the supply chains of weapons that support Putin's troubled defense system. These sanctions prohibit British entities from providing services to those sanctioned and also freeze assets located in Britain. The British government, which has sanctioned over 1,600 individuals and entities since the start of the war in Ukraine, claims that the latest round of sanctions is the 'largest action' against military suppliers in third countries. The UK has greater legal powers to sanction the Islamic Republic. The White House deemed the Islamic Republic's decision to sell drones to Bolivia as 'concerning'. Exclusively; the US: Sufficient evidence of military cooperation between Iran and Russia has been provided, and we have more evidence. 'Irrefutable' evidence of the Islamic Republic's involvement in the Ukraine war is now public.
