We naturally think that relations between Russia and Iran are a serious problem not only for Israel, but also for Ukraine, Europe and the whole world.

Iran threatens world order, Israeli president believesThe Israeli prime minister also accused Russia of allegedly using Iranian-made drones in Ukraine, such deliveries were previously denied both in Moscow and Tehran. Earlier, the EU said that they had collected enough evidence about the alleged use in conflict in Ukraine drones of Iranian origin and are preparing a sanctions response. On Thursday, the European Union published in the official journal a decision imposing sanctions on three individuals and one organization from Iran for allegedly supplying drones to Russia. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in July that Iran was allegedly preparing to transfer unmanned aerial vehicles to Russia, without explaining where did the States get such information and without providing any evidence. Subsequently, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani denied these allegations. In official statements and reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, information about the purchase and/or use of Iranian drones in the special operation zone did not sound. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova previously stated that the topic of Russia's purchase of combat drones from Iran was artificially thrown into the American media.
