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。 美国财政部长贝森特当地时间周一表示,美国正在启动一项旨在孤立伊朗的新行动,并警告称,任何与伊朗开展商业往来的国家和企业,都将面临特朗普政府的严厉打击。 贝森特当天在美国财政部举行的新闻发布会上表示:“美国的立场不容任何含糊:任何形式的经济往来,只要涉及伊朗政权,相关责任方都将面临美国强大力量的全面制裁。” 贝森特表示,美国将对全球范围内60多个实体、个人及船只实施制裁。这些对象被指协助伊朗政府获取核技术和导弹技术、通过石油出口获取收入,以及开展网络行动。 贝森特指出,美国还将进一步扩大制裁范围,已针对伊朗政权用以支撑经济的五大领域——数字资产、技术、黄金、航空和航运——发布相关制裁决定。

B | 作为此次行动的一部分,贝森特将其称为“经济孤立行动”。

C | 他表示,美国财政部已经“摸清了伊朗用于走私石油和规避制裁的每一个节点、每一个协助者以及每一个网络”。 贝森特表示,美国总统特朗普正在与各国领导人通电话,要求他们停止与伊朗开展商业往来。贝森特还要求,伊朗国有银行伊朗国家银行的所有分支机构都应被关闭。
不过,美国承诺实施的制裁目前尚未正式落地。

D | 贝森特表示,美国将首先向有关国家分别发送时间表,要求这些国家“停止我们已经确定的相关活动”。 他补充说:“任何代表伊朗从事洗钱活动的实体,都将被排除在美元体系之外。时钟已经开始倒计时。

E | ” 美国提出打击伊朗经济之际,美国对伊战争即将进入第六个月,但目前仍看不到军事或外交层面取得胜利的迹象。近几周,美国报告的对伊朗空袭次数有所减少。有报道称,美国部分武器库存已经消耗殆尽。 且到目前为止,美国和伊朗仍未就全面重新开放霍尔木兹海峡以及迫使伊朗限制其核计划达成协议。

F | 近几周以来,美国已将政策重点从军事行动转向针对伊朗经济的施压行动。特朗普将新一轮制裁称为伊朗的“经济诺曼底登陆日”。 对于美国的最新制裁举措,伊朗议会议长卡利巴夫回应称,美国知道没人会相信他们的胡言乱语,美国在经济上已无力进一步限制其他国家的关系。伊朗的贸易伙伴已通过媒体和发来的信息明确表示,他们并不把这些言论当回事。(文章来源:财联社)。
