TEHRAN - Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi on Wednesday condemned the United States, France, Britain, and Germany for imposing new sanctions on Tehran over alleged drone and missile sales to Russia.

Araghchi's remarks came in a post on social media platform X, one day after the British, French, and German foreign ministers issued a statement denouncing Iran's alleged missile exports to Russia in its operation against Ukraine. The statement also announced plans to cancel bilateral air services agreements with Tehran and impose sanctions on Iran's national carrier, Iran Air.

The US also imposed new sanctions on Tuesday on various individuals and entities in Iran and Russia, including Iran Air, over alleged sales of drones and missiles to Russia.

Araghchi criticized the sanctions as based on "faulty intelligence and flawed logic", asserting, "Iran has not delivered ballistic missiles to Russia. Period."

He further described those imposing sanctions as "sanction addicts", adding that "sanctions are not a solution, but part of the problem".

Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and Venezuelan Transport Minister Ramon Velasquez have emphasized the need to expand bilateral cooperation to counteract the United States and its interferences, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Wednesday.

During a phone call, the two ministers, co-chairs of the joint economic cooperation commission, also called for the expansion of bilateral economic relations.

Nasirzadeh said that the Venezuelan people's "decisive support" for their government and the presence of the country's armed forces had been "effective and determining" in thwarting Western plots, especially after Venezuela's presidential election in late July.

He highlighted Iran's experience in countering US interference and noted that, as in the past, the country was willing to share such experience with Venezuela.

The Venezuelan minister stressed the need for preparedness to counter their "common enemy".

The two countries, both heavily affected by US sanctions, have established close economic and energy ties in recent years to offset the impacts of the embargoes.
