Thus, the list in particular includes:
- Safiran Airport Services, an Iranian cargo and commercial airline that coordinated Russian military flights between Iran and Russia, through which the Iranian regime handed over Iranian-made strike UAVs to Russia;
- Baharestan Kish Company, a subsidiary of the IRGC Cooperative Foundation, has entered into agreements with the Basij resistance forces and the IRGC to provide research services in the technology sector, including the development of components of the Shahed series UAVs.

In November, Canada had already imposed sanctions on Iran targeting companies it accuses of supplying Russia with drones.
