Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to use against the U.S. and Israel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN in an interview excerpt aired on Saturday.
Zelenskyy told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria that it is “100% facts” that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheds to attack U.S. bases.
Zelenskyy had previously made this claim in an interview earlier this week, when he said that “Russia started supporting the Iranian regime with drones. It will definitely help with missiles, and it is also helping them with air defense.”
According to him, the next step is sending troops, “As happened with Russia, when North Korea sent 10,000 soldiers, who are now deployed in Russia but can be sent to Ukraine.” He added, “The same could happen in Iran – Russia could send troops there.”
