Iran’s foreign ministry called in the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands on Thursday, as reported by the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news agency.

This action followed allegations regarding missile transfers to Russia and the announcement of new sanctions. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated on Tuesday that Russia had acquired ballistic missiles from Iran, which are expected to be deployed in its ongoing conflict in Ukraine within a matter of weeks.

In response, the U.S., along with Britain, Germany, and France, introduced additional sanctions targeting Iran, including restrictions on its national airline, Iran Air.

The Kremlin dismissed Blinken’s claims as unfounded. Iran characterized the allegations concerning missile transfers to Russia as “false and misleading” and criticized the new sanctions, which also entail the termination of bilateral air service agreements with the three European nations.

Mizan reported that the summoning of the embassy heads was a reaction to the ongoing unconstructive remarks from certain European nations aligned with the U.S., which falsely assert Iranian involvement in the Ukraine conflict and impose sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

Additionally, Iran’s top diplomat in London was summoned by the British foreign ministry on Wednesday, while the Dutch foreign ministry summoned Iran’s ambassador, advocating for “new, robust EU sanctions” against Tehran.
