United States Imposes Sanctions on Transnational Procurement Network Supporting Iran’s One-Way Attack UAV Program [1]

[]

Date: 2023-09 

Today, the United States is designating a network linked to the U.S.-designated Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This network–comprised of five entities and two individuals based in Iran, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), Hong Kong, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates–has been procuring sensitive parts for Iran’s one-way attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program.

Iran is supplying Russia with arms, including Shahed-136 UAVs, to support Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine. One of the servomotors procured by the network designated today was recovered in the remnants of a Russia-operated Shahed-136 that was recently shot down in Ukraine.

The United States is determined to take actions against those supporting Russia’s war machine, particularly the provision of weapons that target Ukraine’s people and civil infrastructure.

For more information on today’s action, please see the Department of the Treasury’s press release .
