Britain has imposed sanctions against Iranian individuals and organisations after Iran's attack on Israel on Oct. 1, Britain's Foreign Office said on Monday.
The sanctions target senior figures in Iran's army, air force and organisations linked to Iran's ballistic and cruise missile development.
"Despite repeated warnings, the dangerous actions of Iran and its proxies are driving further escalation in the Middle East," British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement.
"Following its ballistic missile attack on Israel, we are holding Iran to account and exposing those who facilitated these acts."
Lammy also discussed Iran's actions with European partners at the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg earlier on Monday, the Foreign Office said.
Those sanctioned include Abdolrahim Mousavi, the Commander-in Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, the Farzanegan Propulsion Systems Design Bureau and the Iranian Space Agency.
Group of Seven (G7) nations, which includes Britain and the U.S., have condemned Iran's attack and urged for a de-escalation in the Middle East, while reiterating their backing for Israel's security.

The Israeli government unanimously approved Sunday the recognition of the Armenian genocide, dealing a pointed blow to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at a moment of acute tension between the two countries.
Israeli military said on Sunday it killed Hezbollah militants armed with rocket-propelled grenades and struck a rocket launcher in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon to remove threats to its soldiers.
Iran and the U.S. continued their attacks in the Gulf as each accused the other of violating an increasingly precarious interim deal signed less than two weeks ago to end their four-month-old war.
