Tehran launched its first direct military assault on Israeli territory nearly two weeks after an April 1 air strike widely blamed on Israel, killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Damascus.
Iran’s large-scale attack involved more than three hundred drones and missiles, most of which were shot down by Israel and its allies including Washington and London.
The United States and Britain announced widespread sanctions on Iran last week, targeting individuals and companies involved in the Iranian drone industry.
The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office said the latest sanctions would target two individuals and four companies closely involved in Iran’s network of drone production.
Trade sanctions against Iran would also be expanded by introducing new bans on the export of components used in its produce of drones and missiles.
