It is funny how almost the entire world is sending Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars of what they call "advanced" military equipment and yet they are so worried about a fake story about Iran's simplest drone that cost barely a grand being used by Russia. I wonder what they're gonna do if Iran decided to
actually send drones to Russia specially advanced ones like the ones that are capable of air to air combat
Where are all these coming from, is the US trying to drag Iran into this war between Russia and Ukraine?
There is a project called "Iranophobia" on all US administrations desks over the past 44 years where they always make a pariah out of Iran in the media. These days Russia is the "bad guy" so it works best for that project to claim that Iran is also helping the bad guys.
This is unlikely to force Iran into this war, they couldn't get us into Afghanistan war after they escaped it neither could they pull us into the Baku invasion of Armenia and those are right at Iran's borders.
Not to mention that Iran is the only country that is
actually against this war.
Iran denied sending drones to Russia but later admitted to have supplied some drones before the invasion.
"Admit" is a strong word considering how this has been public information for nearly a decade!
We all know that when US regime created ISIS (according to Clinton and Trump) just across Iran's borders in Syria and Iraq, that forced Iran to start the fight against this multinational terrorist organization. In that war an alliance shaped between Iran and Russia and during those shared operations Iran sold some drones to Russia to be used against terrorists.
This is from years ago.
John Kirby said the partnership between Russia and Iran will cause much damage to not just Ukraine but as well as Iran neighbors and the international community.
Someone should ask Kirby that what does the partnership between US and Saudi regime that has invaded Yemen and has been killing children there using weapons US sells them do to the international community?
Russia intended to provide Iran with advanced military components including helicopters and air defence systems.
This sounds like a joke because the only "advanced military component" Russia has that Iran needs is their Sukhoi-35 otherwise the rest like their air defense is inferior to what Iran already has manufactured domestically.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said this was a lie and that Ukraine was shooting down about 10 Iranian drones a day.
In other words Zelensky is admitting that these drones are
not Iranian!
It's pretty simple, Ukraine receives all its capabilities from NATO (mostly US) and the NATO bases (mainly US) that are occupying Iraq and Syria and have been helping Saudis kill people in Yemen have not been capable of shooting down a single one of these exact drones. It is impossible for Ukraine to have capabilities that their supporters don't even have.
So he is either lying about shooting them down or lying about them being Iranian made.
It's the later considering his other statements regarding the components of the drones they gathered after they hit their targets being made in anywhere but Iran (eg. made in US, Australia, China, etc.). Iran's Shahed-136 drones are 100% domestically manufactured without any foreign made components.
