Inside the Iranian drones sold to Russia:
"Of the 52 components Ukrainians removed from the Iranian Shahed-136 drone, 40 appear to have been manufactured by 13 different American companies, according to the assessment.
The remaining 12 components were manufactured by companies in Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan, and China, according to the assessment.
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."
IT'S A PROBLEM
We've discussed this at detail before, no?
I don't have time to read the link. There's nothing the USA or those companies can do if a third party sells basic components of computers or cell phones that are then used to make these things. That reads like they were specifically made for the drone and directly sold to Iran from the manufacturer. If that's the case, arrest them for treason. However, if Iran is cannibalizing Ipads or washing machines for chips and mother boards, that article is a joke.
You are just wrong.
There is an embargo on trade with Iran.
