MEXICO CITY: Iran could be contributing to war crimes in Ukraine by providing drones to Russia, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday.
“Their weapons are being used to kill civilians in Ukraine and to try to plunge cities into cold and darkness which, from our point of view, puts Iran in a place where it could potentially be contributing to widespread war crimes,” Sullivan told reporters during a trip by President Joe Biden to Mexico.
The United States has imposed sanctions on companies and people it accused of producing or transferring Iranian drones that Russia has used to attack civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
The White House said last week that the United States is also considering ways to target Iran’s production of the unmanned weaponized aircraft through sanctions and export controls.

Bahrain arrests 4 suspected Iranian Revolutionary Guard spies
RIYADH: Bahrain's Ministry of Interior said Thursday that four citizens are facing detention for allegedly spying for Iran's IRGC, or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
A fifth suspect is still at large abroad, the General Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science told the state-run Bahrain News Agency.
In a report on its news site, BNA identified the four detainees as Murtadha Hussain Awal, 25; Ahmed Isa Al Haiki, 34; Sarah Abdulnabi Marhoon, 36; and Elias Salman Mirza, 22. The fifth suspect was identified as Ali Mohammed Hassan Al Shaikh, 25.
The arrest comes amid relentless strikes by Iran on its Gulf neighbors — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — in retaliation for ongoing US-Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
