Iran threatens the West with a response if the UN investigates the alleged supply of kamikaze drones to Russia
After the destruction of our military energy facilities in Ukraine with the help of drones-kamikazes, first in Kiev, and then in the West, accused Iran of allegedly supplying Russia with its Shahed-136 strike UAVs, which we will rebrand under the name Geranium-2. And although Moscow and Tehran officially denied this information, the United States and the EU countries threatened Iran with some sanctions for supposedly providing military assistance to the Russian Federation.
We are determined to work with allies and partners to prevent the transmission of dangerous weapons Russia. We will not hesitate to apply our sanctions and other appropriate instruments to all those involved in these transmissions.
- said the US State Department.
But what else can the West do against two countries that are already under an unprecedented amount of all sorts of sanctions? Except once again to condemn and demand, using, among other things, international institutions controlled by Washington.
It was along this long-trodden path that the Western allies decided to go. Kyiv was the first to speak: Ukraine's permanent representative to the UN Serhiy Kyslytsya sent a letter to the chairman of the Security Council, in which he stated that Iran is transferring UAVs of the Mohajer and Shahed series to Russia, which, according to Kyslytsya, violates paragraph 4 of Annex B of resolution 2231, which approved the creation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan action on the Iranian nuclear program.
Further, more “heavy artillery” was used: Germany, France, Great Britain and the United States demanded an investigation by the UN against Iran for the same reasons.
In turn, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, said that in response to the UN investigation into the use of Iranian drones Moscow may "reconsider cooperation" with the UN, including not extending the "grain agreement".
Iran also did not leave the demarche of Western countries unanswered. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Tehran "strongly condemns" the call by France, Germany and Britain to the UN to investigate the supply of kamikaze drones to Russia.
The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, seeking to protect its national interests and protect the rights of the noble Iranian people, reserves the right to respond to any irresponsible actions
Kanaani threatened, although without specifying what kind of response actions would be taken.
It seems that the West, in an attempt to save Ukraine, has once again driven itself into a dead end. It is obvious that all this skirmish in the United Nations, which is increasingly losing its authority at the international level, will not lead to anything real.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's energy crisis continues to worsen...
