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 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.”
“We are assessing further steps we can take in terms of export controls to restrict Iran’s access to technologies used in drones,” Watson said.
The U.S. is also helping Ukrainian defenders to target sites where drones are being launched and are providing equipment to detect the drones early after launch, according to The Times.

That’s why Biden is vacationing (yet again) in St Croix?
No doubt financed by the billions of dollars Biden delivered on pallets.
It is not terribly difficult for people with a bit of aeronautics expertise to develop and build drones that have been shown to be devastating in battles. In fact it is now clear that the era of massed land armored vehicles and naval surface combatants is over. Try to imaging Chinese one child soldiers hunkered down on landing crafts as they approach landing sites on Taiwan or columns of tanks, trucks and APCs are they lumber along.
Just looking at that map tells me Iran drones will be built and shipped to Russia. China can ship parts by air and sea. Pakistan can supply overland. India can find a way to sell and ship parts. Iran can send drones via air or Caspian Sea.
Another excuse for a Democrat pallet of cash to Iran, then recycled to campaign funds?
If there was something he could do about this, then why is he just now getting around to doing it? He’s been a day late and a dollar short on every aspect of his response to this war.
My first thought, too.....Good Luck with that...
In Obama years didn’t Iran shoot down 2 us drones. My guess they reverse engineered them
Maybe he will emulate Osama Obama and send them $400 million during the night on their promise to be good little boys and stop.

I am sure the Biden will get Kamala right on that.
But I never understood why Russia needs to get drones from Iran in the first place,
The Biden administration is reportedly working to curb Iran’s ability to deliver drones.
Another plane loaded with gold to depart soon call sign Obama one so it don’t get shot down.
Let’s stick it to the enemy real mean like.
Let’s shaft the customer.
Let’s sabotage our company.
Let’s flip off the jerk in the car next lane over.
In the la la world of no consequences.
I’m going to punch my brother and it will be over.
Too late, we’ve already sent them the hundreds of billions. IN CASH too.
“Working”. Working how? From the beach in St. Croix?
I’ve had that thought too. In fact I think they said at the time that they were doing that.
