The level of air threats on the territory of Ukraine may soon decrease significantly.
In Iran, several large military facilities were attacked by kamikaze drones. According to unofficial data, explosions occurred, in particular, at the Shahed drone factory and an oil refinery.
No organization or country has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Analysts and observers of the influential media suggest that Israel is behind the explosions, seeking to prevent the militarization of Iran and the implementation of the Iranian nuclear program. Israeli officials do not comment on this information.
Meanwhile, experts say, the explosions were help for Ukraine from “unknown allies”, since now it will be more difficult for Iran to supply Shahed drones to Russia. TSN.ua collected expert opinions on the events in Iran and their possible impact on the situation in Ukraine.
Contribution to Ukraine's defense
Explosions in Iran will have a positive impact on the defense capability of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by military expert Dmitry Snegirev on the air of a nationwide telethon broadcast by the TSN Youtube channel.
According to him, we are talking about “a decrease in the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles from the territory of this country for needs of the occupying country”.
Snegirev recalled that this was not the first blow to enterprises producing unmanned aerial vehicles:
“Six months ago, the Israeli army launched missile and bomb attacks on factories for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles that were located in Syria. They were controlled by the pro-Iranian Hezbollah group. By the way, Russian specialists worked at these enterprises.”
< p>According to the expert, another attack on a plant for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles and a plant for the production of motor oils “significantly reduces the ability of the Russian occupation forces to obtain Iranian Shahed-131/136”.
“Accordingly, the level of air threats on the territory of Ukraine using kamikaze drones will be significantly lower. We can thank the unknown party that contributed to the defense capability and the overall victory of Ukrainian weapons,” Snegirev said.
Israel solves its problem
Military observer David Sharp on “Freedom” suggested that the explosions in Iran could be an Israeli special operation. According to Sharpe, despite the change of governments, Israel has always adhered to the plan to eliminate key Iranian figures in the field of weapons development, strategic enterprises, and carried out sabotage in the rear.
“First of all, Israel solves its own problem – the fight against Iranian expansion in the region, the Iranian threat within the framework of a long-established strategy“, – said the expert.
Russian publicist and sociologist Andrei Piontkovsky, in a conversation with blogger Mark Feygin, noted that Iran “suffers because of the desire to destroy the state of Israel.”

“They always repeated – there was no Holocaust, but we will organize it. I am convinced that Prime Minister Netanyahu has returned to his seat with one goal in mind: to put an end to Iran's nuclear threat once and for all. The strike is Israeli, I have 100% information. It's like a “warm-up”. But it plays a huge positive role as an ally for Ukraine. But the main motive of Israel is its own. This is the own physical security of 10 million people,” Piontkovsky explained.
The expert noted that usually the United States tries to restrain Israel from taking tough steps, but due to Iran's alliance with Russia, America's traditional containment pressure has sharply decreased.

Hello to Russia?
Israel could “say hello” to Russia by attacking Iran, journalist Orest Sohar suggests in his Telegram- channel.
“Apparently, the tacit agreement between Israel and Russia was that both countries would not supply weapons to Ukraine and Iran, respectively. Russia violated it – by the end of March, the first package of military assistance from Putin will arrive in Iran, then there will be more. It is known that Moscow is ready to provide the ayatollahs with Su-35 fighters and S-400 systems,” Sohar recalled.
But Israel is more afraid of helping to create Iranian nuclear weapons, the journalist notes.
“Knocking out Iran's defense capabilities is an attempt to disrupt the “nuclear” contracts with Russia, to reduce the attractiveness of Iran for Putin. Drones flew last night, according to the press, to nuclear laboratories, because Jerusalem fears that the Russian Federation has already transferred part of the technology to the Iranians,” he writes.
The journalist also noted that Israel has been neutral in Russia for a very long time. -Ukrainian war, but the other day, through the mouth of his ambassador to Germany, he said that he was helping Ukraine privately.
“It was a frank greeting to Russia for its support of Iran. If Russia continues to help Iran, it is possible that Israel will take more ambitious actions, in particular, the transfer of weapons to Ukraine,” he does not exclude.
