US Presidential Administration Joe Biden began a campaign to limit the Iranian supply chain that is used to deliver drones to Russia and attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
As the Israeli news information and analytical website reports, this was reported by The New York Times Representatives of intelligence, armed forces and national security.
The purpose of the United States is to deprive Iran of the opportunity to produce drones, to make it difficult for the Russian military launch of unmanned aircraft -Kamikadze and, in case of failure, to provide Ukrainians with the means of defense necessary to knock them down from the sky.
Iranian officials admitted that Russia passed the “limited number” of drones before it invaded Ukraine, while Ukraine and the West believe that deliveries are continuing.
American troops help the Ukrainian military find places where drones are preparing to launch, which is a difficult task, since the Russian military change the launch sites, from football fields to parking lots. In addition, the Americans hastily introduce new technologies designed to ensure an early warning about the approach of a group of drones to increase the chances of Ukraine to knock them down.
Spokeswoman for the National Security Council Adriennn Watson said that the United States is “studying ways to combat the Iranian production of drones” through sanctions, export control and communication with private companies whose details were used in production. ”
“We evaluate the further steps that we can take in terms of export control to limit Iran’s access to the technologies used in drones,” Watson said.
In November, the United States imposed sanctions against companies and individuals accused of involvement in the production or transfer of Iranian drones used by Russia in attacks against Ukraine.
Assistant to the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak said at the beginning of this week that Iranian-Russian trade in drones “openly humiliates the institution of international sanctions,” and called for “elimination” of Iranian facilities for the production of drones.
