Iran rejects European and British sanctions on its shipping lines as 'unjustified'

New EU and British sanctions are based on false claims of missile transfers to Russia and are "unjustified," Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday.

Brussels on Monday added the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) and its director to its list of sanctions on Iran, which it said were a consequence of Tehran's support of Russia in its war with Ukraine.
