The United States on Tuesday added seven Iranian entities to its black-trade list for producing the drones Russia uses in attacks in Ukraine, the US Commerce Department said Tuesday.
The entities added to the blacklist are companies active in the design and production of aircraft engines, as well as the Air Force and the research center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The US Department of Commerce said Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles are being transported to Russia for use in Ukraine, in violation of US national security and foreign policy interests.
