American companies are subject to sanctions because to 'Iranian' drones

(RT) ⸻ The US Treasury Department has placed one Chinese national and five companies on the Iran-related sanctions blacklist, claiming they were part of a "procurement network" Tehran supposedly used to obtain parts for drones it allegedly exported to Russia. The companies "facilitated" the transactions of aerospace components to the Iranian company HESA, which produces Shahed-136. The sanctions mean American residents are banned from doing business with the designated companies and all their property within US jurisdiction is frozen until further notice. Ukraine has accused Iran of supplying Russia with kamikaze drones used to strike strategic targets. Tehran has denied the accusations, insisting that it is not arming either party to the conflict. The Russian Defense Ministry insists that its Geran-2 drones are produced at home, just like all the other hardware used in the military operation against Kiev.
