Iran warns Volodymyr Zelenskyy against bogus charges

• Iran alleges Zelenskyy made “accusations and obscene comments.”
• Iran denies sending Russia military equipment for the Ukraine crisis.
• Last month, Iran admitted sending a few drones to Russia.

Iran clapped back at Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and warned of limited “patience for baseless accusations.”

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said the speech delivered by Zelenskyy from the United States Capitol repeated “accusations and indecent statements.”

“We have always respected the territorial integrity of countries, including Ukraine, and Mr. Zelenskyy should know that Iran’s strategic patience for baseless accusations is limited,” a published statement by Kanaani said.

“Mr. Zelenskyy should learn from the fate of some leaders of countries who relied on America’s support,” the statement said.

Zelenskyy said that the hundreds of lethal drones Iran had sent to Russia posed a threat to “vital infrastructure” in his statement to the US Congress.

The Iranian government has denied transferring military hardware for use in the conflict in Ukraine, but it did concede last month that it had transferred a small number of drones to Russia in the months prior to the start of its invasion of Ukraine.

Russia, Zelenskyy argued in strong terms, has “found an ally” in Iran.

“That is how one terrorist has found the other,” Zelenskyy said.

“It is just a matter of time when they will strike against your other allies if we do not stop them now.”
