The United States imposed sanctions on six Chinese and Hong Kong-based entities that allegedly helped procure key components for Iran’s unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and ballistic missile programs, the U.S. Treasury Department said on Feb. 26.
In a statement, the department said the entities had procured UAV components on behalf of the U.S.-sanctioned Iranian firm Pishtazan Kavosh Gostar Boshra (PKGB) and its subsidiary, Narin Sepehr Mobin Isatis (NSMI).
Both serve as key suppliers for Iran’s UAV and ballistic missile programs, the department said.
According to the department, the entities operate as front companies and facilitate the purchase and shipment of key components for PKGB and NSMI. Between them, the companies allegedly helped acquire U.S.-origin UAV items including valve assemblies, radio frequency connectors, engines, and Western-origin aircraft components for Iran on behalf of PKGB….
