This raised questions about gifting practices in the military. However, another parliament member clarified that the gifts were low in value and personally given by a staff member, not Bagheri himself. ^[1]IranWire

International Sanctions: In 2022, Mohammad Bagheri was sanctioned by several countries for his role in human rights violations and helping Russia in its war against Ukraine. In September, the U.S. and Canada sanctioned him for being involved in the violent crackdown on protests in Iran after the death of a Kurdish-Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini. In October 2022, the UK government sanctioned Bagheri in connection with the Russo-Ukrainian War. That same month, the European Union also imposed sanctions on him for playing a central role in strengthening military ties with Russia, specifically for helping develop and supply Mohajer-6 drones, which were used by Russian forces in attacks against Ukraine. Bagheri, however, mocked the EU sanctions and sarcastically said they could take all his money and use it to buy coal for Europeans to stay warm in winter. ^[2]Business Insider
