Parts made by more than a dozen US and Western companies were found inside a single Iranian drone downed in Ukraine last fall, according to a Ukrainian intelligence assessment obtained exclusively by CNN.

The assessment, which was shared with US government officials late last year, illustrates the extent of the problem facing the Biden administration, which has vowed to shut down Iran’s production of drones that Russia is launching by the hundreds into Ukraine.

” A separate probe of Iranian drones downed in Ukraine, conducted by the UK-based investigative firm Conflict Armament Research, found that 82% of the components had been manufactured by companies based in the US. Damien Spleeters, the Deputy Director of Operations at Conflict Armament Research, told CNN that sanctions will only be effective if governments continue to monitor what parts are being used and how they got there.

What did you Expect 😂😂

so who is making money on this catastrophe...?

We should either invade Iran or bomb it so much that they can't make a single drone ever again.

The internet connection in Iran has been seriously disrupted, users can't access the news websites or any social media even with using multiple VPNs. The government is trying to suppress the voice of this revolution but we are still standing strong IranRevolution

It's just business, after all.

So we make money on both ends! Hahahahahaha 😂

Putin must win this war quickly.

Has anyone checked the number of Chinese parts in American equipment public or government

sanctions really really work...LOL

Oh this is a surprise?

The military industrial complex doesn’t have a side. They profit in perpetual war. And our politicians who promote these industries also get paid. So when you see billions in aid for foreign wars, know someone is taking your tax dollars to enrich themselves

The Ukraine Nazi Military is not to be trusted. They will say anything to drag the world into their ridiculous war with Russia, which they provoked knowing that they couldn't win in hopes that Nato would formally step in. Don't fall for the Ukrainian Nazi bullshit.

'exclusively by CNN' ooh lala🤣

But muh ITAR! The hecking bad guys can't have advanced western weaponry! Unless it's rebadged and sold through a maze of subsidiaries and allows L3 board members to buy a new boat.

Countries don't follow sanctions. fact Iran and Russia are terrorist sponsored countries.

Now you know US and EU are just hypocrite

yeah, let's keep trying to negotiate with the people.

An urgent auditing on those companies need to be made

I guess amazon delivers there too!

Historical fact: BEFORE THE UNITED STATES, THE UKRAINIAN NAZIS WERE SUPPORTED ONLY BY ADOLF HITLER.
