The Shahed-136 uses an MD-550 piston engine, according to Wikipedia.

It was apparently developed by Limbach, Germany. Now the MD550 engines are made in China.

So the drones' engines don't appear to have anything to do with any US manufacturer, and even if they did, Iran could buy them from China. Good luck with sanctioning those.
