Foreign relations of Iran

A Greek national is among the victims of a shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, according to the Greek Foreign Ministry. The victim was described as a resident of Jerusalem.

A total of seven people were killed, and several others sustained injuries - some seriously - when a gunman opened fire on members of the public in the Jaffa area.

Greece has "strongly condemned" an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel Tuesday and called for an immediate de-escalation in the Middle East.

The United States is set to impose new sanctions on Iran following the delivery of ballistic missiles from Tehran to Moscow, despite repeated warnings from the West. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during a visit to London, announced the move, noting that Russia is expected to use the missiles in its war against Ukraine in the coming weeks.

Western powers on Tuesday announced fresh sanctions on Iran for supplying Russia with short-range missiles for imminent use against Ukraine, calling it a dangerous escalation of the conflict that threatened European security.

The European Union said Monday its allies had shared intelligence Iran had supplied Russia with ballistic missiles, a claim that Tehran rejected but that the Kremlin did not explicitly deny.

U.S. media outlets reported last week that Washington believed Iran had transferred the weapons to Russia for use on the battlefield in Ukraine, citing anonymous sources.
