Japan expresses concern over Iran's advancing uranium enrichment program and suspected supplying of combat drones to Moscow for Russia's war on Ukraine. Iran's conflicting accounts about the drones raise further questions.
Iranian drones have been a key element of Russia’s continued war on Ukraine. Tehran has offered conflicting accounts about the drones - first denyinghas supplied them to Russia and later claiming the unmanned aircraft were only sold before the Russian invasion.
However, the number of Iranian-made drones used in the conflict shows a steady supply of the bomb-carrying weapons. In June, the White House saidwas providing Russia with materials to build a drone manufacturing plant east of Moscow as the Kremlin looks to lock in a consistent stream of weapons. As U.S. ally and a member of the Group of Seven advanced nations, Japan has joined sanctions against Moscow while providing Ukraine with humanitarian support and non-lethal defense equipment, largely because of fear that Russia’s invasion could embolden an already assertive China in Asia.
