The UK has imposed sanctions against Iranian individuals and organisations afterIran's attack on Israel on Oct. 1, the country's Foreign Office said on Monday.
The sanctions target senior figures in Iran's army, air force and organisations linked to Iran's ballistic and cruise missile development.
"Despite repeated warnings, the dangerous actions of Iran and its proxies are driving further escalation in the Middle East," British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement.
"Following its ballistic missile attack on Israel, we are holding Iran to account and exposing those who facilitated these acts."
