The White House, meanwhile, has said that Iran has increased its involvement in Russia's invasion of Ukraine by giving technical support to Russian forces operating Iranian-made drones to bomb civilian targets.
John Kirby, of the White House's National Security Council, said Iranian advisers were in Crimea to provide the Russian military with training and maintenance.
The United Kingdom is applying new sanctions to three Iranian individuals and to a business for supplying Russia with drones to attack Ukraine.
The UK Foreign Office said in a statement that by providing drones to Russia, Iran is "actively warmongering, profiting off Russia's abhorrent attacks on Ukrainian citizens, and adding to the suffering of the people and the destruction of critical infrastructure".
The European Union agreed to apply sanctions against the same business and the three individuals shortly before the United Kingdom's announcement.
Iran has denied supplying drones to Moscow and the Kremlin has accused the West of trying to put "pressure" on Iran.
