Tehran has experts on the ground in Crimea helping with drone attacks on Ukraine, the White House says.
Iran has deployed military experts in Russian-occupied Crimea to help launch drone attacks on Ukraine, the White House says.The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, deployed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made.
A "relatively small" number of Iranians are providing technical support and Russians are piloting the drones in Ukraine, he said. They are known as "kamikaze" drones because they are destroyed in the attack - named after the Japanese fighter pilots who flew suicide missions in World War Two. UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly accused those listed of "warmongering" and profiting off Moscow's "abhorrent" attacks.
