The US is stepping up its efforts to stop Iran from being able to supply drones to Russia, the New York Times reports.
“In interviews in the United States, Europe and the Middle East, a range of intelligence, military and national security officials have described an expanding US program that aims to choke off Iran’s ability to manufacture the drones, make it harder for the Russians to launch the unmanned “kamikaze” aircraft and — if all else fails — to provide the Ukrainians with the defences necessary to shoot them out of the sky,” according to the New York Times.
