The United States imposes sanctions on companies, individuals, and vessels, including three from India, for aiding Iranian military s illicit UAV transfers. Sahara Thunder, linked to Iran s military, utilizes India-based companies like Zen Shipping and Port India Private Limited for its operations. These sanctions target entities involved in facilitating clandestine sales of Iranian UAVs to Russia for its war in Ukraine. The US Treasury emphasizes the need to counter Iran s destabilizing actions, coordinating efforts with allies to combat such financing activities.
