The US will continue to target the network that supplied Russia with deadly UAVs for use in the war in Ukraine, a Treasury Department official said. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in January that Iran was assisting in a war crime by helping Russia with drones. Iran has admitted that it has sent drones to Russia, but it was delivered before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. At the same time, Moscow denied the use of any Iranian drone in the Ukraine war.
