The USA may introduce new sanctions against Iran for cooperation with the Russian Federation

The US is ready to apply new sanctions against Iran for the country’s military cooperation with Russia.

The USA will continue to hold accountable countries that cooperate with the Russian Federation militarily. This was stated by the coordinator of the National Security Council of the White House, John Kirby, Ukrinform reports.

The official noted that Iran is unlikely to benefit from strengthening defense relations with Russia. Iran is a country that is already suffering from some of the biggest Western sanctions, including because of Tehran’s direct support for Russia. And this, of course, affected the country’s economy.

“We will continue to hold them accountable – if additional sanctions are needed, we will, of course, apply them. And I’m sure some of our allies and partners are too,” Kirby says.
