Iran has sent ballistic missiles to Russia in a 'dramatic escalation', Blinken says | ITV

Russia has received shipments of ballistic missiles from Iran, and will likely use them "within weeks" in Ukraine, the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday. Speaking alongside Foreign Secretary David Lammy during a visit to London, Mr Blinken said they would take measures to punish all involved, and that sanctions would be announced later on Tuesday. "This development, and the growing co-operation between Russia and Iran, threatens European security," he said. "It demonstrates that Iran's destabilising influence reaches far beyond the Middle East." • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/itvnews Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/
