The Biden administration is reportedly working to curb Iran’s ability to deliver drones to Russian troops for use in Ukraine by expanding efforts to choke Tehran’s production of the unmanned aerial vehicles.
The New York Times reported on the expanded push Wednesday, citing unnamed intelligence, military and national security officials. The administration is focusing on depriving Iran of the parts it needs to produce the drones.
Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, told the newspaper officials are “looking at ways to target” Iranian drone production “through sanctions, export controls, and talking to private companies whose parts have been used in the production.”
The U.S. is also helping Ukrainian defenders target sites where drones are being launched and providing equipment to detect the drones early after launch, according to the Times.
Who are we helping? The Ukranian war is creating chaos for the Ukraine where millions fled their homes, and businesses deteriorated. Poor countries worldwide are struggling with energy shortage like oil, going back to coal, food shortage, higher prices, Inflation, and the associated curbing of economic development.
What for? What is the end game? More war? Just a thought.
