In an evening address on July 25, Zelensky compared Iran to North Korea and alleged that Iran was collaborating with Russia, in justification of the attack on the Iranian commercial ship.

Even if these accusations are correct, neither instance is an example of a direct attack. Ukraine conducted a direct attack on an Iranian ship. For Zelensky's justification to make sense, Iran should then be allowed to attack Ukraine directly or Russia be allowed to attack the US directly.

Also Russia only deployed DPRK soldiers to the Kursk region of Russia. The DPRK soldiers were used to defend from Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.

Zeldisney trying to earn favor with the west?

asking out of curiosity and for no reason at all - iranian missiles can reach ukraine right?

Yup. They certainly can reach any part of Ukraine while being launched in Iran.

That's not the problem. It's the cost-benefit ratio.

[-] IranOuttaOil@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

There could be benefits for Russia.

Does Russia need missile help from Iran? I think support via trade and tech sharing is more useful for both countries than direct military involvement in each other's fights

Iran makes some quite affordable stuff.

Russia is fine on it's own, but currently Russia's strategy is a slow-burn attrition one. Iran's missiles work very well for that.

new tweet from Iran FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi

Zelenskyy has attacked an Iranian commercial vessel, killing a sailor. A blatant UN Charter violation done at Israel's behest to drag Europe into its war.

In calls with EU High Rep Kallas and FM Lavrov, made clear that what the freeloader in Kyiv did CANNOT GO UNANSWERED.

Zelensky announces the Ukrainian attack on an Iranian ship over twitter.

https://nitter.net/ZelenskyyUa/status/2080955669407015342#m

Ukraine continues applying long‑range sanctions in response to Russian strikes. Last night, the warriors of our Defense Forces hit targets across different regions of Russia that are fueling this war.

Once again, a plant in Kirov was struck – the one supplying components for the weapons Russia uses to attack our people. That’s about 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine’s border. Also hit were an oil refinery in Tyumen, a logistics facility in Yekaterinburg, and a fuel and lubricants depot in Rostov‑on‑Don. We also achieved very strong results with long‑range strikes in the Caspian Sea – including vessels used in military cargo shipments involving Iran, as well as a warship.


EU Representative Kaja Kalas accuses Iran of "severe human rights violations".

https://nitter.net/kajakallas/status/2080631014817182039#m

While the world’s attention is on the war in the Middle East, we can’t lose sight of Iran’s repression against its own people.

Today, the EU imposed new restrictive measures on Iranian judges responsible for serious human rights violations, including the persecution of political dissidents and religious minorities. We also sanctioned a leading figure of a cyber group who enabled the regime’s repression of information.

As Tehran intensifies its domestic crackdown, the EU will continue to hold those responsible to account.


Iran spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei tells EU Representative Kaja Kallas that the US/Israel attacks against civilian infrastructure are violations of Human Rights.

https://nitter.net/IRIMFA_SPOX/status/2080879284898701606#m

.@Kajakallas speaks of the European Union’s “human rights concerns” regarding Iran. How can a professed commitment to human rights be so easily reconciled with providing logistical and technical support for lethal aggressions against the Iranian people — aggressions that deliberately target civilians and critical national infrastructure? All while refusing to condemn even the most blatant war crimes, and offering not a single word of sympathy for Iranian children slaughtered by American-Israeli bombs and missiles enabled by the EU’s own “logistical and technical support.”

This is not merely a loss of credibility. It is the banality of evil — and the purest form of hypocrisy.


In the OP articles, Iran Foreign Minister Araghchi spoke with Kaja Kalas over the phone about Ukraine's attack on Iranian commercial ship.

The Europeans dream only of death and destruction upon those they consider subhuman.

A tale as old as time: the children of darkness hatred towards the sons and daughters of the Sun.

Isn't this what they call a terrorist state?

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
