MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The United States has denounced this Wednesday the violation of the United Nations Security Council resolution by Iran for the transfer of military drones to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine, actions for which it has threatened sanctions.
“Today, the United States joined the United Kingdom and France in raising the issue of the transfer of unmanned aerial vehicles by Iran to Russia at a meeting of the UN Security Council,” said the State Department spokesman. American, Ned Price, through a press release.
“We will not hesitate to use our sanctions and other appropriate tools on all those involved in these transfers,” Price added.
The spokesman explained that Washington warned in July that Iran planned to transfer drones to Russia “for use in the brutal war against Ukraine.” “We now have abundant evidence that these UAVs are being used to target Ukrainian civilians and critical civilian infrastructure,” he said.
The Biden Administration has been committed to its partners “to prevent the transfer of dangerous weapons”, while it has criticized Tehran’s position, which it accuses of “continuing to lie” by denying that it is supplying these weapons to Moscow.
The Government of Iran assured this Wednesday that it is willing to clarify before the Ukrainian authorities the “unfounded” accusations about the use of Iranian-made kamikaze drones by the Russian Armed Forces, who have resorted to this type of weaponry in their last wave of massive attacks.
It would be, according to Kanani, “malicious” accusations, with which they would try to harm the image of Iran at the international level, according to the state network Press TV, despite the indications that contradict the official version of Tehran.
The day before, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dimitro Kuleba, urged the president, Volodimir Zelensky, to break diplomatic relations with Iran due to attacks with kamikaze or suicide drones, which work ‘de facto’ as a projectile.
