Blinken’s accusation against Iran after the imposition of sanctions
While accusing Iran of “sending ballistic missiles to Russia for use in the Ukraine war”, the US foreign minister made allegations against our coury and said: “Coinuation of such a process will have consequences.”
According to Isna, the US Departme of Treasury announced on Tuesday that it has imposed sanctions against individuals and institutions related to Iran and Russia due to the war in Ukraine.
US Secretary of State Ahony Blinken claimed in an ierview with Sky News TV: “I think you’ve seen in the last few hours that the United States has imposed sanctions, and also in the last few minutes the European partners have clearly announced that we will take more measures.” We will take action against Iran in response to what it is doing. “We have clearly told Iran that if it coinues to send missiles to Russia, there will be consequences for it.”
Referring to the new preside of Iran, he claimed: “The Iranian governme is doing the opposite of what it is looking for – having better relations with other couries and canceling the sanctions that have been imposed.”
The three couries of England, Germany and France, known as the European Troika, claimed that Iran se ballistic missiles to Russia and used these missiles in the Ukraine war. Iran’s ballistic missile is condemned by Russia. This action is more and more iensification in line with Iran’s military support for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and Iran’s missiles reach European soil and increase the suffering of Ukrainian people. “This action by Iran and Russia is a direct threat to the security of Europe.”

In this regard, Blinken added: “Since the beginning of the war in February 2022, the United States has ensured what Ukraine needs; But Washington must also consider other factors. For example, the United States should consider whether Ukrainian forces are able to use sophisticated and advanced systems provided by Western allies, or whether they are able to maiain them.
He stressed: “All of these matters need to be decided, but what I can tell you is that we will coinue our investigations, and therefore we do not rule out the possibility of Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons against Russia at this time.”
The US foreign minister further stated: “We do not rule out such a possibility. “We will never rule it out, but when we do rule it out, we’ll make sure that it’s done in a way that will ensure what the Ukrainians are trying to achieve.”
Reuters reported on Tuesday evening that US Preside Joe Biden, in response to a question about whether the restrictions on the use of long-range weapons by Ukraine against Russian territory will be lifted, said: “My administration is currely considering this issue.” »
Gaza war
Ahony Blinken, in response to a question about whether the United States is closer to a cease-fire agreeme and the end of the Gaza war, said: “In terms of what is currely on paper, more than 90 perce of it has been agreed, but almost everything “The closer you get to the finish line, the harder it gets because the hardest things are usually left uil the end.”
He added: “The challenge, of course, is that with every day that passes, there is a risk of an iervening eve that will push you back and make it more difficult. But I’m convinced based on what’s on paper, what’s already been agreed, that we’re close to an agreeme, but does that mean we’re going to get there? No, because there are still difficult issues in this regard.
