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.

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

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

Sanctions are siege warfare.

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.
