The United States transferred military equipment seized from Iran to Ukraine earlier this month, according to U.S. Central Command.

On April 4, the U.S. provided Ukraine with over 5,000 AK-47s, machine guns, sniper rifles, RPG-7s, and over 500,000 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition to the Ukrainian armed forces. These weapons were seized by U.S. and partner naval forces during four separate seizures from May 22, 2021, through Feb. 15, 2023.
