Iran’s sale of lethal drones to Russia for use in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine means the country may be “contributing to widespread war crimes”, US President Joe Biden’s administration said.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan levelled the charge against Iran on Monday as he spoke to reporters accompanying Mr Biden on a trip to Mexico.
