The United States has sanctioned six entities, and two individuals based in Iran, the UAE, and China that have been allegedly involved in the procurement of key components on behalf of entities connected to Iran’s drone and ballistic missile programs. The US State Department said in a statement that ” the action is a part of President Trump’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran to disrupt efforts by the US-sanctioned Iran-based Quds Aviation Industries to procure equipment for Iran’s military-industrial complex and drone program.”
