A | Washington, Oct 18 (UNI) The US says it agrees with Western allies that Iran's supply of explosive drones to Russia violates UN sanctions.
Kyiv was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, unleashed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made.
The US agrees with the French and British assessment that the drones violate UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the US State Department said.
That resolution, linked to Iran's nuclear accord, bars Iranian transfers of certain military technologies.
Ukraine has identified the drones -- or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- as Iranian Shahed-136 weapons.
They are called kamikaze drones after the Japanese fighter pilots who flew suicide missions in World War II.
"It is our belief that these UAVs that were transferred from Iran to Russia and used by Russia in Ukraine are among the weapons that would remain embargoed under 2231," said Vedant Patel of the State Department.
Iran denies supplying them to Russia, but Patel said the US "exposed publicly that Russia has received drones from Iran, that this was part of Russia's plan to import hundreds of Iranian UAVs of various types".
He added that there was "extensive proof" of Russia's use of them in Ukraine.
Critical infrastructure was hit on Monday in Ukraine's Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy regions, with electricity cut in hundreds of towns and villages, the Kyiv government said.
At least eight people were killed -- four in Kyiv and four in Sumy. The US said it would "hold (Russia) accountable for its war crimes."
Patel said the deepening alliance between Russia and Iran was something the whole world should see as a threat. Russia and Iran have provided key military support for President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war.
UNI MR。 08月26日讯 迪马利亚梅开二度，罗萨里奥中央2-2塔勒瑞斯。赛后迪马利亚在混合采访区谈到了帕雷德斯等人世界杯上的处罚。世界杯决赛赛后阿根廷与西班牙球员爆发冲突，FIFA官方处罚帕雷德斯禁10场，莫利纳禁7场，阿尔马达1场，阿亚拉3场，阿根廷足协遭罚款。加维禁赛1场。之后阿根廷足协表示保留上诉可能性。记者：阿根廷世界杯的处罚出来了，几名球员被禁赛，帕雷德斯禁10场，你和他谈过了吗？你怎么看这件事？迪马利亚说道：“是的，我经常和他交流，但没什么。我觉得这太夸张了，处罚场次肯定最终会减少，对所有球员都是如此，不只是对帕雷德斯，莫利纳也一样。我觉得这（处罚）是会发生的事情，因为他们最后时刻起了肢体冲突，但这一切确实过于夸大了。
