White House says Iranian troops in Crimea backing Russian drone strikes

The US National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby revealed that Iran sent a “relatively small number” of personnel to the annexed Crimea to assist Russian troops in launching Iranian-made Shahed-136 drones against Ukraine.
