Iran's drone program raises concerns for US and France, as Russia collaboration looms.

Four US federal agencies have issued a joint warning to private industry about Iran's efforts to obtain sensitive technologies for its drone programs, which are covered by export controls and other sanctions. Iran is using shell companies and other methods to obscure the destination of such transactions and evade sanctions. The report noted that one of the primary recipients of Iran's drones is Russia, which has used them in attacks on targets in Ukraine. Iran is also planning to send Russia the materials needed to build a drone manufacturing plant near Moscow.
