EU moves to tighten ban on drone exports to Iran after crackdown

Brussels on Tuesday proposed banning the export of more EU drone and missile tech to Iran after a deadly crackdown on protesters, European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen said.

"Europe stands in full solidarity with the brave women and men of Iran who are risking their lives to demand freedom for themselves and future generations," von der Leyen wrote on X.

"Today, we are proposing to ban additional exports of critical drone and missile technologies."
