The United States has announced sanctions against nearly a dozen individuals and entities in Iran and other countries that have provided parts for the manufacture of attack drones.

Details: The imposed sanctions targeted 10 entities and 4 individuals based in Iran, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Indonesia that support Iran's production of UAVs.
The network facilitated the purchase of US and foreign components worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for an organisation affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Quote from Brian Nelson, Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence: "Iran’s illicit production and proliferation of its deadly UAVs to its terrorist proxies in the Middle East and to Russia continues to exacerbate tensions and prolong conflicts, undermining stability."
Background: The official journal of the EU published a list of individuals and legal entities on 18 December subject to sanctions under the recently approved 12th sanctions package.
