President Joe Biden’s administration is poised to announce new export controls targeting Iranian drones and drone parts that Russia has used in Ukraine since its invasion, according to people familiar with the matter.

The export controls, set to be announced Wednesday to coincide with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s surprise trip to Washington, could be part of a larger sanctions package.
