US Transfers Seized Iranian Weapons to Ukraine Amid Ammunition Shortages
The US military has provided Ukraine with thousands of seized Iranian weapons, bolstering Kyiv's defenses against Russia's invasion.
- The United States has supplied Ukraine with over 5,000 firearms and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, originally seized from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
- The seized weapons, intended for Houthi rebels in Yemen, include AK-47s, machine guns, sniper rifles, and RPG-7s.
- This transfer aims to support Ukraine's fight against Russia, as Kyiv faces significant ammunition shortages.
- Iran denies ownership of the weapons, which were intercepted between May 2021 and February 2023.
- The assistance comes as US aid to Ukraine is delayed in Congress, with Ukrainian forces urgently needing more support.
