< p _ngcontent-sc89="" class="news-annotation">APU is actively shooting down Iranian drones in Ukraine. This means that Iran nevertheless provided them to Russia, and this suggests that Putin promised Iran something very profitable, in particular, military bases in Syria.
This opinion of Channel 24 was voiced by the editor-in-chief of the portal “Ukraine in Arabic” Mohammad Farajallah. Earlier, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suggested whether Iran would supply drones to Russia in the future.
Iran thinks that Ukraine is still weak
Farajallah said that Iran has decided to supply drones to Russia because it believes Ukraine has not changed since 2014. In particular, then she reacted mildly to those countries that recognized Crimea as Russian.
This was a signal of weakness, and many in Iran were left with the illusion that Ukraine was still weak. – noted the editor-in-chief of the “Ukraine in Arabic” portal.
Putin offered Iran bases in Syria
He continued that Putin, in order not to lose in Ukraine, is ready for anything. In particular, he offered Iran military bases in Syria. The Russians are now firing them.
“This is how Iran gets the nearest borders with the Israeli border,” Farajallah noted.
Iran hoped that Russia would win
The editor-in-chief of the portal “Ukraine in Arabic” added: Iran hoped that Russia would win the war. Then Putin's dream of a multipolar world will come true.
Something like the USSR will appear and offer support to Iran. A country that has been in isolation for a long time,” he stressed.
Ukraine responded correctly
According to Farajallah, Ukraine reacted absolutely correctly to Iran's actions. She did not completely break off diplomatic relations, but lowered the level of Iranian representation in Ukraine.
“This is necessary for Iran to reconsider its position on providing Russia with drones,” the editor-in-chief of the portal “Ukraine in Arabic” emphasized. “.
Other states began to fight on the territory of Ukraine
He also noted that with the advent of Iranian drones on the battlefield in Ukraine, other states began to fight among themselves. Farajallah explained that only after the appearance of these drones, Israel agreed to provide Ukraine with its weapons.
That is, Israel wants to settle its accounts with Iran on the territory of Ukraine. These players, who were dragged into the war by Putin, should be removed from the battlefield,” he said.
Iran's reaction
The editor-in-chief of the “Ukraine in Arabic” portal said that, unfortunately, Iran's reaction is wrong. Iranian Foreign Ministry instead of investigations, review of decisions, etc. started talking about the “third party”. Of course, Iran is talking about its worst enemy – the United States. So, he did not draw any conclusions.
“Iran must understand that by supporting Russia, it loses more than it gains,” Farajallah said.
Iran could transfer drones to a third country
According to him, there is also a version that Iran did not directly transfer drones to Russia. He sold them to a third country with which it is not forbidden to trade, and she has already given them to Moscow. If you believe in this at least 1%, then an interesting situation emerges.
The country that sold the weapon has the right to control the place of its stay. So, in this aspect, let's look at Iran's reaction, – summed up the editor-in-chief of the “Ukraine in Arabic” portal.
