Iranian lawmaker says Ukraine's drone support makes it a legitimate war target - Lemmy

The head of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy said that by providing drone support to Israel, Ukraine has “effectively become involved in the war.” Zelenskyy earlier stated that Kyiv has already deployed interceptor drones and a team of specialists to help protect US military bases in Jordan.

Oh, I bet it will go swimmingly for Iran to attack Ukraine. Don’t they have all their oil infrstructure concentrated on one island? Ukraine has been very effective in hitting Russian oil facilities.

No, they have massive storage in one ityy bitty island that could very easily be turned into a huge ecological disaster

Iran has been planning this war for decades… They’d have to be total fools to think it wouldn’t be a target. And if you know where the enemy will strike and all that

Well, for one, Russia also had years, and did in fact take years, to plan the invasion in Ukraine. That didn’t turn out too great. And secondly, no matter how good your plan is, if all of your oil export infrastructure is that concentrated, it is at risk.

Is it as concentrated as it appears? It’s basic art of war stuff, appear weak where you are strong and strong where you’re weak

The island is basically a bomb. It’s an enormous oil depot, with millions of barrels, not processing. It would hurt Iranian exports for sure, but if they’re not idiots they’d have contingencies so they could spend the island strategically

Russia failed because they mistook a hard target for a soft one and let their military be rotted by corruption… Their plan looked fine on paper

"Russia failed by winning the war too slowly"

  • people succeeding by losing wars

It all makes sense…

Are you stupid? Russia lost because they kicked a snowball that turned out to be a rock.

I don’t know what the fuck you read, but it wasn’t my post

Right, like you said, Russia lost by winning too slowly. Maybe Ukraine can still win by surrendering quickly. It’s all coming together baby!!!

You must struggle a lot in life, so let’s just say you won this one. Good job, sport

If it is any comfort, you will certainly believe it without any evidence, and who am I to interfere with your efforts to divine the world’s affairs? Russia lost the war already, and I’m a disenfranchised bum. Unrelated:

Do you even know what you’re trying to say? Because I sure as hell have no idea what your positions are, you haven’t made them. I made mine, and if you could read you’d probably agree with them

Also I do know you’re using two accounts, because the votes are too even and no second person on earth has any idea what you’re on about

Vote manipulating is stupid behavior since people can just turn them off, sort by new, and mods can see it, plus I don’t like making other people have meltdowns, which is the objective of dogpiling… I like swapping information tit-for-tat online but if it doesn’t work it’s time for goofs. Been trying to catch people at random in the hopes they don’t do this. I think reddit is just too much for some people. The point is that the country you are referring to as having lost the war is on the offensive, and I often post at work in defiance of the laws of gods and men. Can you at least try to be on topic instead of speculating about other people’s lives? Like I could probably report it but again I’m #notlikethat

If Russia is currently on the offensive, why have they been losing ground for the last month? They have lost about 10% of all their 2025 gains in the last month.
