According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russian Federation has ordered more than 2,400 drones from Iran, which they regularly use to attack infrastructure and civilian targets in Ukraine.
The United States has announced sanctions against four Iranian entities and one Iranian individual in connection with the development, production and distribution of unmanned aerial vehicles that the Iranian regime is providing to Russia for its war against Ukraine. This was announced on Monday, June 3, on the website of the US State Department.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller explained that we are talking about applying restrictions against four organizations associated with the Rayan Roshd Afzar company (which America included in the sanctions list earlier), as well as against the head of Iran Aviation Industries Organization (a subsidiary of the Iranian Ministry of Defense and Logistics).
He noted that the sanctions were agreed upon and introduced simultaneously with the introduction of EU sanctions.
“We applaud the first use of the EU’s new sanctions powers to target Iran’s destabilizing behavior and support for terrorism in the Middle East,” he said.
It was previously reported that the Council of the European Union has introduced new sanctions against Iran in connection with Russia’s military assistance in the war of aggression in Ukraine. The EU sanctions affect six individuals and three legal entities.
