Ukraine War: US Says Iranian Drones Breach Sanctions by Dandal: 1:53am On Oct 19, 2022
My pipul, US/NATO don collect wotowoto from Iranian drones inside Ukraine so tey dem don carry the matter reach UN Security Council oo. cheesy

The US says it agrees with Western allies that Iran's supply of explosive drones to Russia violates UN sanctions.

Kyiv was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, unleashed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made.
The US agrees with the French and British assessment that the drones violate UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the US State Department said. That resolution, linked to Iran's nuclear accord, bars Iranian transfers of certain military technologies.

Ukraine has identified the drones - or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - as Iranian Shahed-136 weapons. They are called kamikaze drones after the Japanese fighter pilots who flew suicide missions in World War Two. "It is our belief that these UAVs that were transferred from Iran to Russia and used by Russia in Ukraine are among the weapons that would remain embargoed under 2231," said Vedant Patel of the state department.


Iran denies supplying them to Russia, but Mr Patel said the US "exposed publicly that Russia has received drones from Iran, that this was part of Russia's plan to import hundreds of Iranian UAVs of various types". He added that there was "extensive proof" of Russia's use of them in Ukraine.

Critical infrastructure was hit on Monday in Ukraine's Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy regions, with electricity cut in hundreds of towns and villages, the Kyiv government said. At least eight people were killed - four in Kyiv and four in Sumy. The US said it would "hold [Russia] accountable for its war crimes."

Mr Patel said the deepening alliance between Russia and Iran was something the whole world should see as a threat. Russia and Iran have provided key military support for President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war. "Anyone doing business with Iran, that can have any link to UAVs or ballistic missile developments or the flow of arms from Iran to Russia, should be very careful and do their due diligence. The US will not hesitate to use sanctions," Mr Patel warned.

Monday's attack came a week after Russia fired dozens of missiles at Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, many of them targeting energy infrastructure. Western analysts believe the Iranian weapon is helping Russia to keep up long-range attacks despite a shortage of precision missiles.

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says the EU is also "gathering evidence" on the Iranian drones and is ready to act - implying a possible intensification of sanctions.

Negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran are currently stalled. Under the deal with Western powers, Iran agreed to limit its sensitive nuclear activities and allow in international inspectors in return for the lifting of crippling economic sanctions.

These idiots expected Russia to use its own high tech and more expensive hardware on Ukraine, thereby depleting its arsenal and weakening Russia, so NATO can join last minute and finish Russia, like they always do.

Russia smartly went to Iran and bought very cheap Iranian hardware to do the job. Now, they are complaining. Their plan failed. Russia is still reserving its own tech in case NATO joins the conflict.

War is a game of chess. Russia is one step ahead.

Ukraine is just a pawn. I wonder what kind of president places his people to be used as pawns in a face-off between superpowers. E no go better for Zelensky.

Which Sanctions?
What can they do again after you sanction someone? Maybe war.
USA have spent over 50B on Ukraine yet Ukraine is getting beating but Russia only spend around 5M to buy those Iranian drones.

Even UN imposed sanctions on NK, does not stop NK from developing def technology talk less of Iran that it was only EU and USA sanctions.

Wait unless Russia start buying NK missiles and Co, because they are very cheap.
Respect to Iran, for developing their own tech and Co with all the sanctions on them while Nigeria that have not been sanction at all, can't even produce common electricity for her own citizens talk-less of building her own military tech.

Iran inverse Russia S300 to build Iran own def system yet Nigeria military can't even protect over air space but they know how to loot the money for the def system.
Iran have been sanctioned but I have never see Iranian officials running to UK, etc for medical treatments like Africa leaders esp Black Africans.
