'The United States is committed to strictly enforcing our sanctions against both Russia and Iran,' one U.S. official said.
The burgeoning relationship between Iran and Russia has strengthened since Russia first invaded Ukraine in February.
He initially called the delivery of Iranian drones"somewhat of a surprise" due to the assumption many had that Russia did not require such weapons after just six months of combat. Though, he did acknowledge Iran's"indigenous drone industry" that is void of traditional air force programs resulting from sanctions and a lack of money.
Samuel Bendett, a Russia analyst for the Center for Naval Analyses and an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, toldHe called Iran"a very interesting case study for Russia" due to its ability to be under decades of U.S. surveillance yet able to bypass"massive sanctions" by utilizing third parties when necessary.
Vatanka warned about the financial dealings between both countries, however, saying the partnership is likely"perfect for a barter kind of deal."
