Due to the downturn in the economy, Russia is forced to turn to countries with which it usually did not have partnerships for military assistance. In particular, to Iran, the website of the US State Department reports citing the Head of the Press Service Ned Price.
“If in the course of that work we are in a position to determine that the Iranian Government as a whole or that senior Iranian officials are complicit or responsible for war crimes, we will work to hold them to account as well,” Ned Price emphasized.
The US Treasury Department has already imposed sanctions on officials associated with the Iranian defenсe equipment manufacturer. It develops and manufactures unmanned aerial vehicles used by Russia in the war against Ukraine.
