On February 1, 2023, UANI Policy Director Jason M. Brodsky appeared on i24NEWS to discuss the latest U.S. action targeting Iran's transfer of drones to Russia, and other topics regarding the Islamic Republic. 

"The entities that were listed by the Department of Commerce, most of them had already been listed or sanctioned by the Department of the Treasury. So this is just a tightening of the US sanctions architecture, particularly export controls and those equities that the Department of Commerce oversees. But on their own, they will not further deter the Iranian system from providing Russia with lethal weaponry. The United States, the international community, is going to have to start increasing the pain on Iranian soil and unless and until they do that, that is not going to change the calculation in Tehran as to whether to arm Russia in Ukraine."
