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.

    Hmmm, I wonder how Ukraine ever managed to become so proficient in shooting down Iranian drones, years before anyone else?

        Ukraine is sending neither drones nor soldiers inside of Iran.

        Thousands of Iranian drones have landed into Ukrainian soil, though.

        Also are you telling me the Iranians sent the drones to Russia and just sent them flight instructions printed on an A4 paper instead of Iranian instructors…?

          Ukrainian soldiers are operating the drones to defend the genocidal ethnostate and the US bases bombing Iran. This is not giving instructions, this is participation in the war.

          Ironically Ukraine is sending soldiers and interceptors from their own frontlines. Guess they don’t need them more than Netanyahu.

            Iranian soldiers operated the drones sent by a demand of a genocidal ethnostate to bomb Ukraine. This is not giving instructions, this is participation in the war.

            Now, because of involvement of these chaps, Ukraine has a technology that is in high demand in the world, for whatever reason. It’s very single cellular to assume that the technology is not scalable, and that literally every person who can be involved in scaling of a technology must be digging trench somewhere in Donetsk.

              Russia is not a genocidal ethnostate. Go look at the percentage of civilian casualties in the Ukraine war and the percentage in Gaza and then learn what terms mean. Russia does commit “war crimes” (whatever that word means nowadays) but they are most certainly not committing genocide.

              Funny that you think the Ukrainian startup model is scalable. Neither is the USonian drone program. Iran could kill every US soldier allegedly being deployed with a single drone each and it wouldn’t even cut into their stockpile.

            That’s fair. I think the irony is still here, though.

            • Russia attacks Ukraine
            • Russia needs support
            • Russia starts using Iranian drones
            • Ukraine gets good at destroying Iranian drones
            • PedOTUS picks a fight with Iranians
            • Iranians launch drone strike at half-assed US base
            • PedOTUS asks Ukraine for support fighting drones
            • Ukraine agrees
            • Iranians claim that makes Ukraine a valid target

            …we only asked Ukraine because they are already being targeted by Iranian drones, have experience dealing with Iranian drones, and … and … and that’s it. Have a good night.

    Lol tankies out in force downvoting anyone pointing out how Iran has been at war with Ukraine since 2022.

    Its hard to start a war you already started. The US may have started a war with Iran. Ukraine though has been at war with Iran since the Iranians started armed hostilities in 2022. And yes Iran had troops in Ukraine since at least 2022.

    ANDDD…

    Iranian drones blowing-up Ukraina didn’t make Ukraina designate Iran as a legitimate war-target??

    Iran ought now be a legit Ukrainian target, if that’s Iran’s position.

    Ukraina’s selling defensive drones, not assault ones, from what I’ve been seeing.

    This is mere ideological-convenience/gaslighting, not accuracy-of-view.

    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.

      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

        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.
