According to UATV: Volodymyr Zelenskyy has addressed threats emanating from Tehran following Ukraine’s backing of Persian Gulf states. In an interview with i24NEWS and Jerusalem, he stressed the critical role of air defense systems for his country. The president noted that both the United States and Middle Eastern leaders had sought assistance with drone interception capabilities.
Rebuffing the Threats
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Azizi, head of Iran’s National Security Commission, asserted that Tehran could strike Ukraine. In response, Zelenskyy pointed out that
“air defense is not about offensive capabilities”and emphasized that Ukraine remains unafraid of such rhetoric, stating:
“We have heard these kinds of statements every day for the past four years.”
