US Delivers Iranian Bullets to Ukraine

The United States delivered approximately 1.1 million confiscated Iranian bullets to Ukraine. The ammunition was seized from a ship en route to Yemen on 9 December 2022 by US naval forces, and the US took ownership in July 2023 via civil forfeiture. The transfer was orchestrated by US Central Command (Centcom) amid concerns that Ukraine's ammunition consumption exceeds production. Iran faces accusations of supplying arms to Russia and supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen, despite a UN arms embargo. The move underscores US commitment to counter Iranian lethal aid while supporting Ukraine, though opposition within the Republican Party has stalled additional aid in the House.
