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.

Lol we found the line beyond which liberals side with the fascist kid-bombers, and that line is being against their favorite reddit nazi country

Excuse me, who are you talking about? I was talking about Iran threatening Ukraine.

"Oh but Russia has fascist mercenaries" that's cool man, let me know when they're running the government instead of being used as cannon fodder

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Ukrainian government is run by a jewish person. Utkin and Prigozhin were personal acquaintances of Putin

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

A Jewish nazi, yes. There's plenty of those in Israel, the country Zelensky has repeatedly said he wants to emulate.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

No, Zelensky is not a nazi.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

Amerikkka had a black president

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nice thought terminating sequence, I guess now you don't have to address supporting a country which has AN OFFICIAL BATTALLION made entirely of nazis and national holidays, statues, and streets named for a ridiculous amount of nazis

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, there is not an entire nazi battalion. There was a civil defense force where nazis dominated, but when that defense force got rolled into the army, the percentage of nazis in that battalion dropped significantly. And Ukraine is in no position to refuse able-bodied recruits, so they get to stay. Overall Ukraine only has a hand-full of nazis, no more than the average western country.

[-] m532@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago

no more than the average western country.

Probably true

[-] greyscale@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Every now and then there's a burst of terminally unhinged noise. Its a bit like sighting a pulsar.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Ukraine joined the sanctions on Iran in 2007 for the civilian nuclear program . Sanctions indirectly kill people.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

So sanctions warrant military strikes? Someone better let the UN know.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 weeks ago

Sanctions are siege warfare.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry about the mistake. Limiting the amount of Patriot missiles Ukraine can buy to restock still hurt Ukraine and help Russia

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

"We need money to buy drone interceptors, what should we do? Sell drone interceptors"

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

If the US and Israel want to bomb Irans oil infrastructure, they will do it themselves, and if they don't, they sure as hell won't let Ukraine do it

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

Iran has been planning this war for decades... They'd have to be total fools to think it wouldn't be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

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
