And citing an Iranian official and another source the Financial Times has reported that the United States is pressing Iran to stop selling the armed drones, which Russia is using in the war in Ukraine.

An oil leak has hit a transmission pipeline linking Iran's Kharg island to the country's mainland port of Genaveh.
Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported the leak without specifying the magnitude of the spill. According to an official from Bushehr Province: "To prevent oil leakage on the seabed from the pipelines, diving teams have been dispatched."
The official also said that two vessels had been sent to Kharg and Genaveh's coasts to help with the clean-up. Kharg island, located 25 kilometers off the Gulf coast of Iran, hosts an oil terminal from which a large part of the country's oil exports are shipped.
