U.S. says Iran supplying drones to Russia violates U.N. resolution

The United States agrees with British and French assessments that Iran supplying drones to Russia would violate U.N. Security Council 2231, U.S. State
Department spokesman Vedant Patel said on Monday.
“Earlier today our French and British allies publicly offered the assessment that Iran’s supply of these UAVs (for) Russia is a violation of UN Security Council resolution 2231,” Patel told reporters, referring to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones. “This is something that we agree with.”
Ukraine has reported a spate of Russian attacks using Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones in recent weeks. Iran denies supplying the drones to Russia, while the Kremlin has not commented.
Resolution 2231 endorsed the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six powers – Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States – that limited Tehran’s uranium enrichment activity, making it harder for Iran to develop nuclear arms while lifting international sanctions.
