The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.”

Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.

    Oh, I bet it will go swimmingly for Iran to attack Ukraine. Don’t they have all their oil infrastructure concentrated on one island? Ukraine has been very effective in hitting Russian oil facilities.

    Also, if anything, Iran has been involved in Russia’s unjustified invasion into Ukraine, by giving Russia access to the Shahed drones to support the mentioned invasion.

        Because they want to take over the island? Or because they still want to have something to threaten Iran with?

          It’s because Iran can destroy the rest of the region’s oil infrastructure with its missiles, and has refrained from doing so. US is unable to go tit-for-tat on this because Iran would easily weather a global economic crash, since they are already as sanctioned as possible. This is why I was deeply mistaken about the escalation ladder in this war, I made assumptions like “US will see this is irrational” (LMAO) and “US willl have to use nukes or lose”—Iran has pseudo-M.A.D.

          Sanctions makes regular iranian suffer. To minimize the suffer Iran has to find allies. Iran was forced into russian and chinese arms it is a fact. Do you also think all those countries who protected Israel occupation for 7 decades make them legimate target to palestinians or ukrainian forces who participated in Iraq in 2003-2005 makes Ukraine a valid target to Iraqis . Chinese arms are also used by russia, will you support a war with China?

          The bigger winner of this war is china and the russian invaders not Ukraine. The day the west promise removing all sanctions on Iran in exchange of stopping the support for Russia and I would agree with you

          The UN is useless and many countries who designed it was still colonial powers killing people in occupied lands

            I didn’t say that Ukraine would be a winner of this war, all I said was that if Iran were to attack Ukraine, Ukraine could replicate on iranian oil infrastructure what they are doing with russian oil infrastructure.

              I really don’t believe Iran will strike in ukranians territories but it’s asset in the middle east region.

              Ukraine will not benefits at all from helping israel, the usa and the golf. The real winners is the russian invaders and China and Israel if Iran is destroyed and genocided.

              Russia no longer need the shahed too. They got the tech and have their own drones based on the shahed blueprint

                Ukraine is benefitting by selling their drone interceptors and training. It’s their best avenue to secure funding for their defense against the ongoing invasion. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Ukraine has no choice but to side with the US, lest they get cut off from weapon imports and intelligence. If Europe wants Ukraine to not side with the US, they need to do more to support Ukraine. But we all know that Europe won’t meaningfully step up its support of Ukraine, so the only pathway left to Ukraine is to sell its interceptor tech to the orange in chief and the oil oligarchies.

                  The usa moved air defenses from ukraine and south korea to protect Israel and trump ease up the sanctions on Russia. Even an idiot like Trump know the son of the shah who loves seeing his people bombed by israel and the usa is unpopular yet zelensky meet him. Nothing of what Zelensky is doing make sny sense when Russia is not beaten yet and need all the defense systems he has

                    The US can’t move air defense from Ukraine because the US has no air defense deployed in Ukraine. What the US did do is limit the amount of Patroit missiles Ukraine can buy to restock.

        Well, for one, Russia also had years, and did in fact take years, to plan the invasion in Ukraine. That didn’t turn out too great. And secondly, no matter how good your plan is, if all of your oil export infrastructure is that concentrated, it is at risk.

          Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

          The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

          Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

              Almost like you guys completely fail to understand that it is indeed possible to lose by “winning too slowly”. War is expensive and the longer it goes on the more it is crippling Russia’s economy.

              If you are paying attention to this war as we enter its 5th year, Russia’s front line isn’t doing too well at the minute, especially so since Russia’s starlink access and messaging services have been cut off. Russia is currently moving troops around to try and plug holes in their leaky front line.

                  Dude, both of those articles you linked are 2 years old now. 2 years might as well be 2 decades in terms of how quickly things change when a country is at war. You are seriously trying to sell me an article about Russia’s GDP growth in 2024 in 2026. You need to refresh your propaganda home screen comrade.

                  I love your definitive statement at the end to wrap it all up. It’s like you’ve been in a coma for the last 2 years.

                  Now let’s talk about Russia’s current leaky front line that is happening right now in 2026. Or how about how Ukraine seems to be taking out an air defense system every day now. It’s starting to look really bad for Russia out there, beginning of the end hopefully.
