Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson, said, "Iran's Ministry of Defence continues to destabilise the region and world with its support to Russia's war in Ukraine, unprecedented attack on Israel, and proliferation of UAVs and other dangerous military hardware to terrorist proxies." "The United States, in close coordination with our British and Canadian partners, will continue to use all means available to combat those who would finance Iran's destabilising activities," Nelson added. Sahara Thunder has also played an instrumental role in the Iranian military's sale of UAVs.

"MODAFL has cooperated with Russia to finance and produce Iranian-designed one-way attack UAVs at the US-sanctioned Joint Stock Company Special Economic Zone of Industrial Production Alabuga (SEZ Alabuga) facility in Russia under a USD 1.75 billion contract," the US Department of Treasury said. As of late 2022, Russian officials were negotiating a deal for Sahara Thunder to deliver and produce thousands of UAVs per year at this facility. The Russian military have been using these UAVs in Ukraine against critical infrastructure and civilian targets, the statement added.
