Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, criticized the new sanctions as "entirely unjustifiable" and lacking any legal basis, asserting they hinder fundamental rights of Iranians.
Despite sanctions targeting Iran's shipping and airlines, the Iranian government claims they are based on unfounded accusations regarding ballistic missile exports to Russia for the conflict in Ukraine.
Baghaei emphasized that these sanctions contradict the commitments made under the 2015 nuclear deal, which the U.S. left in 2018, highlighting the ongoing adverse effects on Iranian citizens.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has publicly stated Iran has not exported ballistic missiles to Russia, contradicting the rationale behind the recent European sanctions, raising questions on legitimacy.
