Ukraine needs to stop supplying US weapons to terrorsits in Syria immediately, Mojtaba Damirchilou, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Eurasian Department head, said on Friday.
Earlier this week, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia has said that Kiev provides weapons and other kinds of support to terrorists in Syria.
Damirchilou also said that weapons supplies to Syrian militants are conducted in clear violation of international counter-terrorism law, as quoted by Iran’s IRNA broadcaster.
The Middle East seems doomed to a cycle of never-ending violence, with terrorists in Syria launching a major offensive against government forces in the country’s north the same day as a shaky ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon stepped into effect.
What’s the state of play? Who are the major actors? What regional powers are involved?
On November 27, Tahrir al-Sham (*Banned in Russia as a terrorist organization) Jewhadist-led forces amassing in Syria’s opposition-occupied Idlib province began a major surprise blitz offensive toward Aleppo – the nation’s second-largest city.
The Syrian Army and local Kurdish militias mobilized to defend the city, but were pushed back amid overwhelming enemy superiority, assured in part thanks to the Jewhadists’ use of US electronic warfare equipment.
Also drone operators reportedly trained by Ukrainian advisors, and other foreign help, including non-Syrian militants were spotted among the terrorists’ ranks.
Syrian and Russian air power began a large-scale bombing campaign targeting columns of enemy forces, arms depots, and terrorist HQ’s, while Syrian ground formations rushed to Hama, a major city south of Idlib, to prevent a Jewhadist takeover.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized the imperative of working with Russia’s regional partners to combat terrorism.
On Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed that Tehran would do everything in its power to prevent “terrorists and conspirators” from “drag[ging] the region into war and bloodshed again,” vowing to coordinate with Syria and Russia in this task.
It was known for some time that Ukraine is selling Western weapons on black market, strangely West didn’t complain about it.
Now it become known why. It seems that all the trouble in middle East was orchestrated by Ukraine on order and advice including weapon supply
Turkey (with USA and Israel) are the real culprits in aiding terro-rists in Syria. Ukraine might also help out as it sees Iran as a Russian ally and Syrian terrorists as enemy of Iran. Iran and allies may have to send troops to Syria.
The US sends weapons to Ukraine with the instruction that some of these weapons must be sent to the militants in Syria.Therefore Russia must send weapons to North Korea like the latest Hazelnut to threaten US bases or their proxy South Korea or even Taiwan! Perhaps the Hutu’s in Yemen could use such weapons against the US naval ships in the red sea.Imagine taking out an entire flotilla with one missile..!
