The G7 nations, including the United States, have issued a stern warning to Iran regarding its potential transfer of close-range ballistic missiles to Russia, stating "swift and severe consequences" would follow. A senior US official highlighted that such actions by Iran would prompt severe penalties from the international community, including a possible ban on Iran Air flights to Europe. This move is part of a broader strategy to impose new sanctions on Tehran should it proceed with the missile transfer, aiming to deter Iran's support for Russia amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Additionally, the US Treasury Department has sanctioned entities involved in illicit activities supporting Iran's military efforts, including a Marshall Islands-registered shipping company, Vishnu Inc., and an oil tanker, Lady Sofia, for their roles in smuggling and supporting the Houthis. The sanctions come despite recent sanctions relief provided by the Biden administration, which unlocked $10 billion in frozen funds for "humanitarian assistance to the Iranian people."
