Washington (US) – The US has sanctioned 3 Indian firms from doing business with Iran over allegations of facilitating illicit trade with the Iranian military and supplying drones to it. Over a dozen companies, individuals and vessels of many countries other than India have also been slapped with sanctions. All of them are alleged to have played a central role in facilitating and financing the clandestine sale of Iranian drones to Russia.
