    Iran will be hit with new sanctions Tuesday for supplying ballistic missiles to Russia, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced.

    Speaking at a joint news conference in London with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Blinken said he expected Russia would begin using the missiles against Ukraine in the coming weeks.

    The new sanctions include additional measures on Iran Air, the national carrier, Blinken said. “Anyone who proves assistance to Russia … is perpetuating the war, is perpetuating the conflict,” he added.

  2. Give Ukraine ability to strike into Russia. It won’t be the end but it will reduce Russian ability.

  3. Don’t sanction, provide matching weapons capabilities to Ukraine. Simple. The only thing that will work to stop this. 

  4. This reminds me of someone saying “I’ll show them, I’ll unfriend them on FB!”.

  6. What is left to sanction? Not being facetious, genuinely curious.

    Sanctions are only achieving one thing for US foreign policy and it’s the opposite of the desired effect – they are pushing these countries closer together with renewed economic cooperation. Unfortunately, the world’s factory is getting pushed into this bloc.

  7. Yep, that’ll show ’em we mean business. No need to lift restrictions on Ukraine or anything wimpy like that. /s

  8. Great . Does not accomplish anything . Punishing them has to be far more impactful

  9. Ok, so will the U.S. face sanctions for sending weapons and aid to Israel?

  10. I don’t think that’ll do much, Iran is already heavily sanctioned…

  11. There’s a sick irony and contradiction in this with the US being the #1 supplier of missiles and other weaponry to Israel.

  12. At this point they do not care. What can we take from them that we haven’t tried already? They will just smuggle in what they want anyway.

  14. As others have said, the best response to this is to allow Ukraine to strike where needed, not more sanctions.

  15. Sanctions are not enough. Seize the shipments. Give the missiles to Ukraine and let them deliver to Russian.

  17. Why doesn’t Iran already have all the sanctions? Russia too. This feels like the geopolitical equivalent of slowly counting to 5 with a misbehaving toddler.

    “ONE…Iran, you better stop…TWOOO….Iran, I’m serious…THREEEEEEE…Iran, you’re going to be in so much trouble!…FOOUUUUUUR…”

  18. Ok so help me understand…. Why are there still sanctions even available to use?

    Disconnect Iran from the world. Zero internet, zero trade, close down the borders. Shut it down with Russia also. Completely remove these fuckheads from the global community.

  19. All these great military analysts here. Reddit should be honored.

  21. Iran doesn’t care. Its proxy terrorists the Houthis have shut most Red Sea trade and the US paper tiger does nothing.

  22. I’m sure that will make them re-evaluate next, 100 percent.

  23. How about sanctioning Iran over the torture and mass killings they are perpetrating on their own citizens?

  27. This Biden lapdog means new sanctions lifted to enable Iran to become a nuclear power and Israëls foe.

  28. So they will stronger their bond with Russia and China and supply even more? One way to stop this would be to end sanctions to Iran.
