Iran strongly criticizes the EU and UK for imposing unjustifiable sanctions on Iranian entities and individuals, including IRISL.
These sanctions are deemed inconsistent with international law and violate commitments under the JCPOA, as stated by Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.
The EU and UK justify their actions with unfounded claims of Iran supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, a pretext Iran refutes as lacking legitimacy or rational basis.
The violation of international maritime law by the European parties is evident, as freedom of navigation and maritime trade are fundamental principles.
