LONDON, Nov 18 (Reuters) -Britain on Monday imposed sanctions against Iran's national airline and shipping carrier, measures it said were taken in response to Iran's transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia.

The state-ownedIran Air and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) will face an asset freeze for their role in supplying weapons to Russia for use on the battlefield against Ukraine, Britain said.

"Iran’s attempts to undermine global security are dangerous and unacceptable," British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said. "We reiterate our call on Iran to cease its support for Russia's illegal war in Ukraine."

The sanctions will further restrict Iran Air's direct commercial air services to and from the UK.

Britain also sanctionedthe Russian cargo ship PORT OLYA-3 for its role in transporting military supplies to Russia, it said.
