The United States of America (USA) will impose "additional sanctions" on Iran because of that country's support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, White House spokesman John Kirby announced today, according to AFP.

"We will impose additional sanctions on Iran in the coming days, and we are prepared to go even further if Iran supplies ballistic missiles to Russia," Kirby said.

The US has previously said that increasing military cooperation between Tehran and Moscow is "worrying" amid reports that Iran has delivered multiple packages of ballistic missiles to Russia.

Reuters reported on February 21 that Iran had delivered hundreds of missiles to Russia in four shipments since January, and an unnamed Iranian military official said "there will be more in the coming weeks."
