A UN Security Council resolution passed after the 2015 Iran nuclear deal prohibits Iran from such arms deals. The United States, Britain, France and Germany have called for a United Nations investigation into Iranian gun attacks in Ukraine in October. Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting Russia’s war of destruction against energy infrastructure and facilities in his country.
Leaders in Moscow and Tehran officially deny that Iranian drones are being used in Ukraine. However, Russian military experts in state media also said that these were unmanned aircraft of Iranian design, which Russia used in Ukraine under the name Geran – in English: geranium. Pieces of debris discovered on the ground also seem to indicate this. Russia and Iran have long cooperated militarily.
