The US Treasury Department sanctioned 10 individuals and entities across multiple jurisdictions over alleged procurement of weapons and weapons components for Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL), which oversees weapons research, production and acquisition, including ballistic-missile and unmanned-aerial-vehicle programs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, "Treasury will not tolerate any support to the regime and will continue to identify, expose, and isolate Iran's enablers." British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Brexit "has done more harm than good" and promised to present options for the United Kingdom’s long-term relationship with the EU.

The wider roundup includes Russia’s call for Iran to remain a responsible party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Italy’s completion of its 12-year military deployment in Iraq, and UN warnings over nuclear risks and civilian attacks in Myanmar. Ukraine agreed to receive three F-16 fighter jets from Belgium by year-end, while the EU approved an additional €2.9 billion ($3.2 billion) in financing after reform progress.
