The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on three companies and two people to involvement in the production or transportation of Iranian drones that Russia uses in attacks on civil infrastructure in Ukraine.
Several Iranian institutions are subject to sanctions, the most important of which are the “witness center” of the Revolutionary Guards Aviation Research, and the Vagner Private Military Group supported by Russia, and two people linked to the Wagner Military Group have been included on the new sanctions list.
Previous sanctions have been imposed on the Wagner group and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards of the Revolutionary Guards by the US government.
In addition to confiscating the assets of these individuals and companies, these sanctions also prohibit American citizens to deal with them.
“The new US sanctions revealed the role of companies and individuals who provide Iranian -made drones to Russia for brutally using them against Ukrainian civilians, and make them accountable.
”
Meanwhile, the Iranian representative at the United Nations announced its willingness to hold an expert meeting with Ukraine to investigate the issue of drones, but confirmed that before holding such a meeting, it will deny any “accusations and actions” in this regard against Tehran.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Hussein Amir Abdullahian, recently admitted that Tehran gave Russia drones, but he claimed that these planes were small in number and were handed over to Russia before the Russian invasion of Ukraine began.
A day after Amir Abdullahian’s statement about sending drones to Russia, the President of Ukraine accused Iran of lying and announced evidence that Iranian forces were trained in the use of Iranian -made drones.
Zelinski said that the Ukrainian forces were dropping “at least 10 Iranian planes march every day. “.
