tl;dr:

The British government has launched an inquiry into reports that universities in the United Kingdom assisted the Iranian government in developing technologies for its drone programme. Last week, the London-based newspaper, the Jewish Chronicle reported its own findings that 11 British universities had collaborated with Iranian counterparts or research institutions to help develop technologies and components that have been - at least potentially - used in Tehran’s construction of fighter jets and drones. Suicide - or ‘kamikaze’ - drones produced by Tehran have particularly been used to effect against Ukrainian military and civilian targets. The reports raised concerns amongst media outlets and political figures in the UK as to how such collaboration was able to take place and how certain ‘dual-use’ components, which can potentially be used for military purposes, could be exported to Iran, despite the UK’s ban on such exports to the country. London’s investigation into the allegations comes as the United States warned American businesses this month to ensure that they are not unknowingly supplying electronics or other components that may be used by Iran to manufacture the drones.
