US says Iranian drones breach sanctions_我的网站

A | Washington, Oct 18 (UNI) The US says it agrees with Western allies that Iran's supply of explosive drones to Russia violates UN sanctions.
Kyiv was struck by so-called "kamikaze" drones on Monday, unleashed by Russia but believed to be Iranian-made.
The US agrees with the French and British assessment that the drones violate UN Security Council Resolution 2231, the US State Department said.
That resolution, linked to Iran's nuclear accord, bars Iranian transfers of certain military technologies.
Ukraine has identified the drones -- or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) -- as Iranian Shahed-136 weapons.
They are called kamikaze drones after the Japanese fighter pilots who flew suicide missions in World War II.
"It is our belief that these UAVs that were transferred from Iran to Russia and used by Russia in Ukraine are among the weapons that would remain embargoed under 2231," said Vedant Patel of the State Department.
Iran denies supplying them to Russia, but Patel said the US "exposed publicly that Russia has received drones from Iran, that this was part of Russia's plan to import hundreds of Iranian UAVs of various types".
He added that there was "extensive proof" of Russia's use of them in Ukraine.
Critical infrastructure was hit on Monday in Ukraine's Kyiv, Dnipro and Sumy regions, with electricity cut in hundreds of towns and villages, the Kyiv government said.
At least eight people were killed -- four in Kyiv and four in Sumy. The US said it would "hold (Russia) accountable for its war crimes."
Patel said the deepening alliance between Russia and Iran was something the whole world should see as a threat. Russia and Iran have provided key military support for President Bashar al-Assad in the Syrian civil war.
UNI MR。北京时间8月13日，曾在NBA征战18个赛季、效力过7支球队的9届全明星球员威少，在社交媒体上发布一段长达3分25秒的视频，正式宣布从NBA中退役，配文“有时候你甚至不知道自己已经看完了结尾。你当时必须在场。

B | 现在一切都结束了”。威少是2008年NBA选秀大会上被超音速以第4顺位选中的球员，随后正式开启职业生涯，先后效力于雷霆、火箭、奇才、湖人、快船、掘金和国王，场均得到20.9分6.9篮板8.0助攻。威少保持着NBA历史生涯三双次数最多的纪录（209次）。他自2021年起保持着这一联盟纪录，当时他拿下了职业生涯第182次三双，从而超越了奥斯卡·罗伯特森自1974年以来保持的181次三双的长期纪录。威少曾经9次入选最佳阵容，9次入选全明星阵容，并且2次加冕全明星MVP，3次当选联盟助攻王。他的职业生涯的大部分时间（11个赛季）是在雷霆度过的，并于2017年荣膺常规赛MVP。他曾与凯文·杜兰特和詹姆斯·哈登联手，带领雷霆在2012年夺得西部冠军，随后在NBA总决赛中不敌热火。威斯布鲁克的经纪人杰夫·施瓦茨于早些时候发表声明，谈到了在劳资协议（CBA）引入第一土豪线和第二土豪线规则后，老将（威少）面临的签约难题：“太不可思议了，湖人队的估值高达120亿美元，但各支球队却因为现行的劳资协议规则而不愿在年长球员身上投入资金。谢谢你，球员工会。

D | 尽管海外多支队伍向他发出邀约，但是他仍坚信自己能在NBA打球，于是乎拒绝所有报价。到了季前赛，国王为他开出无保障合同，威少就此开启个人第18个赛季，他赛季为国王出场64场常规赛，其中58场首发，场均得到15.2分5.4篮板6.7助攻1.3抢断。在混乱的国王内部当中，威少逐渐通过赛场自证身价，是队内为数不多的值得信赖的持球点。威少在休赛期一度传出拒绝奔赴海外打球，仍然有继续留在联盟的想法，多次在社交媒体中晒出了自己的训练视频。据名记Shams透露，尽管威少在休赛期收到国王和奇才的邀请，但他最终选择按自己的意愿结束职业生涯。
