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.

Why do you think the US carefully avoided the oil infrastructure when bombing that island? You read the news or just comment on it?

Because they want to take over the island? Or because they still want to have something to threaten Iran with?

It’s because Iran can destroy the rest of the region’s oil infrastructure with its missiles, and has refrained from doing so. US is unable to go tit-for-tat on this because Iran would easily weather a global economic crash, since they are already as sanctioned as possible. This is why I was deeply mistaken about the escalation ladder in this war, I made assumptions like “US will see this is irrational” (LMAO) and “US willl have to use nukes or lose”—Iran has pseudo-M.A.D.
