Iran trained Russians on using armed drones, US intel says
The Pentagon has warned Iran not to provide armed drones to Russia for use in Ukraine.
Russian officials have received training on Iranian military drones in Iran over the past several weeks, a US official confirmed to Al-Monitor.
US intelligence believes the training is part of a recent agreement for Tehran to supply up to several hundred Iranian-made military drones to Russia amid its war in Ukraine.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan publicly revealed details of the arrangement during a press briefing at the White House last month.
The US official who spoke to Al-Monitor did not specify whether Russian military or intelligence personnel were involved in the training.
