The U.S. has expressed fears over Iran’s involvement in the ongoing Ukraine war
The U.S. Pentagon has expressed concerns about Russia receiving advanced weapons from Iran, in the ongoing conflict.
They say “Russia may seek to acquire additional advanced munition capabilities from Iran, for example, surface-to-surface missiles.”
“We are concerned that Russia may also seek to acquire advanced conventional weapons from Iran, such as surface to surface missiles that will almost certainly be used to support Russia’s war against Ukraine.”
NEd Price . u.s. state department spokesperson
Iran’s involvement in the conflict has come under the microscope recently, following suspicion it supplied Russia with Kamikaze drones.
“Anyone doing business with Iran that could have any links to its UAV or ballistic missiles development… we will not hesitate to use sanctions…”
NEd Price . u.s. state department spokesperson
America says it will use “every tool in its power to confront and counter” Iran’s involvement with Russia.
“We are always looking at targets that may be appropriate for this sort of response, sanctions, other, other financial measures.”
NEd Price . u.s. state department spokesperson
