The Islamic Republic's circumvention of sanctions through 14 American companies

A video that has gone viral on social media shows the Islamic Republic circumventing sanctions to build a drone.

In this video, someone examines several recovered drones and says: "This war has become a drone war for many reasons. We use drones for surveillance, we also use them to drop bombs on targets. Now we have access to this drone that the Ukrainians took from the Russians, a large drone called the Mohajer that can fly hundreds of feet in the air and was made by Iran. But Tehran has denied that it is helping Russia in this war. The point is that the date of manufacture of the equipment used is February 2022, which is the date of the war and, as I said, it is used to drop bombs.

Here we have 76 pieces, made in the United States by 14 American companies. The narrator points to one of the drones and says: "This is the first time we have seen anything like this." Then he shows another drone, which is much smaller, called the Witness, and then he shows a larger drone that can carry up to 40 kilos of explosives, and another that can carry up to 20 kilos. These drones are specifically designed to attack targets like locusts and destroy them.

Now let's look at drones:

The Shahed 136 drone is an Iranian suicide drone designed and manufactured by Hesa ​​since 2021, originally to neutralize ground targets from a distance.

The presence of this drone in the Ukraine-Russia war made it more well-known, but Russia has changed the name of this drone to Geranium-2. Although this drone was given to Russia for the Ukraine war, Iran has denied selling this drone to Russia in all its statements. On the other hand, Hossein Salami, commander of the Revolutionary Guard, announced that superior military powers use Iranian-made military equipment.  

Ukrainian experts also believe that the Shahed 136 has components manufactured in Western countries and uses a computer processor manufactured by several American companies. Also, in the examination of the drones shot down in the Russian attack on Ukraine, it has been observed that the drone had components manufactured in European Union member states and a fuel pump manufactured in Poland, on behalf of a British company.

The Mohajer 6 drone is the newest member of the Mohajer generation of drones, which is in the category of tactical-combat drones. This drone is in the possession of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Army Ground Forces.

Now here's the point: The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran circumvents sanctions in various ways to build drones and sell them to other countries for killing, but in order to import medicine that is not sanctioned anywhere else in the world, it shouts "we are under sanctions" and allows its own people to lose their lives due to the lack of medicine.

What greater crime is there than for the lives of a country's people to be of no importance to its government? Something we have witnessed for 43 years and which has continued until now.
