Russia has received new deadly ballistic missiles from Iran for use in Ukraine and is likely to use them, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, announced on Tuesday in London as he prepared to travel with the UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, to Kyiv.
The news, confirmed by the US for the first time and seen as of huge significance to the battlefield balance ahead of Ukraine’s difficult winter, led the US and Europe to impose new sanctions on Iran, so apparently slamming the door on the prospect of a rapprochement between the new reformist Iranian government and the west.
The move may also add to the pressure on the US to end its restrictions on Ukraine using British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia and not just in occupied parts of Ukraine.
Another cost of blindly supporting Israel no matter what.
Israel causes more drama then they’re worth as an ally, they’re a bully and have acted like it for decades.
Nonsense. Take your Hamas talking points elsewhere. Iran would have done this regardless.
When the US backs Israel no matter what. The countries Israel keeps starting shit with don’t have many other options besides Russia or China
If America stayed out of it, Israel wouldn’t be as aggressive, and their neighbors wouldn’t have to run to Russia and China.
Like…
Has no one explained to you that one of the big factors the West had in creating Israel was to create a volatile area for proxy wars instead of another war in Europe?
If you don’t know that, hardly anything else is going to make sense …
Lmao everything is Hamas
In this case dragging the Hamas Iran Israël thing into it is just silly.
They likely wouldn’t have, which is why it’s such a big deal now that they are.
Israel basically forced this to happen due to its illegal attacks on Iran (the bombing and assassinations).
Take your Zionist talking point elsewhere.

. . . That literally makes zero sense and is one of the most idiotic things I’ve read in a while.

Ohhh you’re a 9 minute old account.
Yeah, that explains a lot.
The weapons where already agreed. This is just Russia most likely helping the Iran nuclear program. Russia is struggling and needs to scale up.
Trying the israel conflict to everything is just … No!
Mostly agree. At least, the threshold to get Iran to not do this is much, much higher - remember that Iran is trying to get a nuclear program among other things that the US and many other allied countries take an issue with, and it’s likely those would have to get put on the table as well if one were to hypothetically attempt to negotiate with Iran over the subject in the article…
I’m really not sure, if I can follow.
How is Israel (absolutely doing a genocide atm - just to have that said) involved with that? What’s the connection?
Maybe I missed something just scrolling through?
I could.copy/paste what I said, but by now I’d hope you scrolled down and saw it by now.
But I dont know, maybe you stopped here and area till waiting on a reply to scroll down.
Ok, I’ll go search for your other comment
Edit: I’m still not sure how the US supporting Israel is making Russia attack Ukraine or how that should be connected - obviously, geopolitical everything is somehow connected, but not causal
Edit 2: I’m absolutely not in favour of US backing Israel (or their fucking imperial capitalism), but do you want to say, that Russia had no other choice or…?
I do know this sounds foolish, but I’m currently really struggling to make sense of what you want to sayYou’re not wrong. It’s a bullshit point that has no merit. US could have nothing to do with Israel, and that would have no bearing on Iran sending missiles to Russia.
Russia is getting missiles from Iran, because they need them and Iran is supplying them, it’s as simple as that.
