US sanctions Iranian company for providing drones to Russia

The U.S. Treasury is sanctioning an Iranian company charged with shipping drones to Russia for use in that country’s war against Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has resorted to seeking weapons from North Korea and Iran as his military struggles to find arms and technology to sustain its invasion after being blocked from purchasing those items from Western countries and manufacturers.

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Tehran-based Safiran Airport Services, which it said has coordinated Russian military flights between Iran and Russia, including those that transported drones and related equipment along with the people who know how to operate them. Treasury’s contention is that the Russian Air Force plans to use the Iranian drones alongside its own in Ukraine.
