United Against A Nuclear Iran (UANI) pointed to a recent Politico investigation that found the company “sent drone parts – like batteries and cameras” to Russia in November and December of 2022, adding that the drones were likely of Iranian origin.
According to evidence gathered by UANI, DJI, which has a large customer base in the United States, has been selling its drone products in Iran, with the watchdog “locat[ing] new evidence suggesting that DJI is also actively engaged in the Iranian market.”
This would contradict claims made by DJI officials in 2022 to UANI, in which they said that “DJI has a strict policy against distributing [its] products to countries targeted by global restrictions including Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, DNR, and LNR regions.”
They added: “We require all our dealers to adhere to this policy, and we have a robust compliance system that requires them to verify their customers and to expressly commit they are not selling products to those regions.”
