Currently, Tehran’s actions are viewed from exactly this position.

Iran supplies kamikaze drones to Russia, which uses them to attack energy and civil infrastructure facilities in Ukraine. These terrorist acts against the civilian population belong to war crimes. And Tehran may end up in the position of their accomplice.

This statement was made by White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan in comments to reporters. He said: “Their weapons are being used to kill civilians in Ukraine and to plunge cities into cold and darkness, which we believe puts Iran in a position where it can potentially facilitate large-scale war crimes.”

The use of Iranian drones in Ukraine: the latest information

Russia began using Shahed-131/136 kamikaze drones last September. Since then, they have been used for strikes on civilian, and later on, energy infrastructure.

The last large-scale drone attack was organized on the night of January 2. The goal was Kyiv, but the air defense forces worked perfectly. They shot down 39 Shahed UAVs and other targets.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in an address on January 2 that the occupiers are preparing long-term bombardments by Iranian drones “for exhaustion.” Our defenders are preparing to counter attacks.

On January 3, Tehran cynically announced its non-participation in the war against Ukraine. Allegedly, none of the countries provided evidence to the contrary.

Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko estimated that Russia spent 193 drones out of a total of 250 that Iran handed over in the second batch.

On January 6, the United States introduced sanctions against the manufacturer of kamikaze drones. The list includes executives and board members of Qods Aviation Industries, a key Iranian military manufacturer.
