(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - The suicide drone used by Houthi militants in a deadly attack on Tel Aviv was constructed primarily with American components, highlighting severe gaps in U.S. sanctions on Tehran, according to Sen.

Those munitions are being used to attack U.S. servicemembers and our allies, including Israel and Ukraine, and more broadly to undermine American national security interests."
