Key armed forces command center and electronics company also sanctioned BRUSSELS: The European Union on Friday imposed sanctions on Iran’s defense minister, Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, and the country’s Revolutionary Guards for sending missiles and drones being used against Israel and Ukraine and in the Red Sea. The high-profile measures also targeted the leader of the Guard’s Qods force for his role in transferring missiles used by Iran’s Hezbollah proxy militia against Israel, and by Houthis firing from Yemen. A key armed forces command center and an electronics company were also sanctioned. Also on Friday, the US issued fresh Iran-related sanctions, according to a posting on a Treasury Department website. The sanctions target one individual linked to Iran Aviation Industries Organization and four entities, it said.
