Savett said that the United States has been warning about the “deepening security partnership between Moscow and Tehran” since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
He added, "As we and our allies made clear at both the G7 summit and the NATO meeting this summer, we are prepared to deliver a swift and severe response if Iran were to move forward with such transfers."
Savett, commenting on Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's claims about efforts to improve Iran's relations with the West, said, “Despite these claims, the missile transfer program demonstrates that the Islamic Republic continues to alienate itself from the international community and contribute to threats against European security. Therefore, we assess the leadership of the Islamic Republic based on their actions, not their statements.”
Weird. I remember it was the US that unilaterally destroyed the JCPOA despite the IEA confirming Iran to uphold its side of the deal. And then the US invited Iranian diplomats to Iraq, only to assassinate them, which is a huge breach of international protocols. Also the US is providing billions and billions of weapons to Irans strategic enemies, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
But of course Iran is at fault for seeking relationships with other countries also opposed to the US. If it wasn't for Trump destroying the relations and Biden doing fuck all to repair them, Iran could have been much closer to the West. Now Ukraine is suffering additionally because of the US destroying diplomatic developments between the EU countries and their geopolitical neighbors.
