Iranian troops in Crimea backing Russian drone strikes

You know, it's not any shock that Russia and Iran has been cooperating together for years but it really hurts me to learn that Iran has now joined Putin's war invasion effort against Ukraine in Crimea.

Iranian troops in Crimea backing Russian drone strikes, White House says

The White House said Thursday that the U.S. has evidence that Iranian troops are “directly engaged on the ground” in Crimea supporting Russian drone attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure and civilian population.

The White House said Thursday the U.S. has evidence that Iranian troops are “directly engaged on the ground” in Crimea supporting Russian drone attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure and civilian population.

Members of a branch of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps were dispatched to assist Russian forces on how to use the drones, according to a British government statement.

“The information we have is that the Iranians have put trainers and tech support in Crimea, but it’s the Russians who are doing the piloting," Kirby said.

Why? The Iranians aren’t obligated to care about the Ukrainians in the slightest.

Most of the world doesn’t share the West’s views. That’s just reality.

Why should it hurt you that villains and dictators long at odds with the West find themselves bedfellows working together against it?

One should expect solidarity among their enemies, and then deal with it accordingly.

I was asking why he was hurt. This isn’t exactly surprising.

No worries. The Ukrainians clobbered some of those IRGC weenies. 10 i believe the number was.

Iran needs to face the same sanctions as Russia.

Iran already is for the most part.

Any more will reduce the oil and gas supply to.the west leading to higher energy prices

There has to be extreme consequences for their involvement in war in Europe. The terrorists who run Iran need to go broke because of their choice to interfere.

The US has been trying to drive Iran “broke” for four decades. It flat out hasn’t worked.

The US created this viper’s nest when it chose to destroy Iran’s democracy, and it’s been biting us in the ass ever since.

Iran's military being in Europe is unacceptable. There has to be serious consequences for this.

Serious consequences like what? Doubling down on the failed policies of the last four decades? Pulling out from the deal we made......oh wait, the US already did that.

Fact of the matter is that the US has essentially zero room to dictate where another nation’s military may or may not operate. The US discredited the reformists by pissing all over negotiations.....now it has to deal with thr fallout of that choice.

Iran's military is interfering in an illegal war in Europe. This is not acceptable.

I am not sure what really needs to be done but Iran must pay for what it did.

The US is not the one who gets to decide what is or isn’t acceptable.

And “they must pay” without any sort of actual plan or specifics, , frankly, means nothing.

Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism. I am sorry you don't see it.

Keep your eyes open and prepare for the word to clamp down on Iran and make them sorry they left their country.

The US itself has sponsored terrorism on multiple occasions, as in Nicaragua, and our “state sponsors of terrorism list” is nothing more than a glorified enemies list rather than an objective acknowledgment of reality.

If by the “world” you mean “the US and it’s satrapies”, perhaps.....but that does not qualify as the “world”, regardless of what Americans think.

And going “Iran will pay!” without details is pretty much meaningless.
