The United Kingdom announced on Tuesday the imposition of a new package of sanctions against Iran, aimed at curbing its nuclear program and other hostile activities.
British Middle East Minister Stephen Doughty stated in a comment that the new sanctions would further restrict Iran’s access to the UK financial system and expand the scope of trade embargoes to include the energy, software, metals, gold, shipping, insurance, and banking sectors, in addition to arms and nuclear capabilities.

Doughty added that British authorities would not allow Iranian aircraft to land on UK territory, “but there will be specific exceptions permitting such landings.”
He noted that the UK government would consider additional measures to increase sanctions on ships linked to Iran’s nuclear program.
Doughty reaffirmed his country’s commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, “but we believe that diplomatic means remain the only way to reach a settlement of this issue.”
