Chinese companies are continuing to supply key drone components to Iran and Russia despite U.S. sanctions, circumventing controls and exporting semiconductors, engines, and other critical parts. Specifically, some Chinese companies have offered to sell Iran the German-made Limbach L550E engine used in Iran's Shahed 136 drones. The U.S. is focusing on cutting off funding to Iran by sanctioning buyers and transport networks linked to its oil sales.
