Iranian troops working with Russians in Crimea to strike Ukraine with drones, US says

Iranian troops have been training Russian forces in Crimea in the use of Tehran-made drones to strike Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, White House National Security spokesman John Kirby confirmed on Thursday.

He added that the US is currently no longer focusing on diplomacy with Iran over a proposed new nuclear deal.

“We can confirm that Russian military personnel that are based in Crimea have been piloting Iranian [drones], using them to conduct strikes across Ukraine including strikes against Kyiv in just recent days,” Mr Kirby told reporters.

“We assess that Iranian military personnel were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations.”
