Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Iran has already joined the war against Ukraine by supplying weapons to Russia, and it is important to be careful about possible new threats.
During an interview with a British news channel, Zelensky was asked if he was concerned that Iran could directly attack Ukraine after the recent incident involving its plane?
In response, the Ukrainian president said that Iran has already attacked us by supplying weapons to Russia, we have to be careful and make every effort to ensure that no new front opens.
He said that the fact is that Iran and North Korea have already attacked us, hopefully they will not increase their attacks further, but we have to be prepared for any situation.
Zelensky alleged that since the beginning of the war, Iran has supplied Russia with thousands of Shahid drones, then also licensed their production, which is tantamount to direct assistance in the war against Ukraine.
He also said that Ukraine cannot trust Iran because Iran had started supplying weapons to Russia without any provocation.
It should be noted that an Iranian merchant ship was allegedly attacked by Ukraine in the Caspian Sea.
This situation has raised concerns about the interconnection of the ongoing conflicts between Ukraine and the Middle East and a possible new front.
According to Iran, 1 officer was killed and 1 was injured in the attack on the ship.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has condemned Ukraine’s attack on the Iranian ship and summoned the Ukrainian chargé d’affaires to register a protest.
In this regard, Ukrainian President Zelensky had earlier said that a Russian ship allegedly carrying weapons to Iran had been targeted in the Caspian Sea.
