US sanctions suppliers of Iran’s drone program
[Rudaw] The United States on Wednesday slapped new sanctions on Iran’s drone program, targeting suppliers in China and elsewhere.

"The network sanctioned today has procured goods and technology for the Iranian government and its defense industry and UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] program," said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian Nelson.

The managing director of Pardazan System Namad Arman (PASNA), Mehdi Khoshghadam, was sanctioned. PASNA is an Iranian import company that was sanctioned by the US in 2018. Khoshghadam "is responsible for the company’s sanctions evasion efforts," said the US Treasury, accusing him of using front companies to secure electronic components from mainly China-based suppliers.

Six entities based in Iran, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China were also sanctioned for supplying PASNA.

"Iran’s proliferation of UAVs and other weapons continues to destabilize the Middle East region and beyond," the US Treasury stated.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is accused of supplying drones that have been used by Russia to target critical infrastructure in its war against Ukraine.

Combat drones were on display at a military parade in Tehran on Tuesday marking the country’s annual Army Day, attended by President Ebrahim Raisi.

"The army of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran is a well-equipped and up-to-date army. The use of advanced equipment in the army is one of the clear manifestations of the 'We Can' slogan, which has made opportunities for ourselves and the country out of threats and sanctions," he said at the ceremony.

Claiming the ceremony celebrating the army was a message "of peace and friendship for the countries of the region," Raisi said outside forces "especially American forces, should leave the region as soon as possible because they threaten the security of the region."
