In recent days we assess that Iranian personnel — Iranian military personnel — were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations," said Ned Price.

Iranian military personnel are on the ground in occupied Ukrainian territories providing aid to the Russian military in their ongoing invasion, the Whitehouse confirmed on Thursday night.

"We can confirm that Russian military personnel based in Crimea have been piloting Iranian UAVs and using them to conduct kinetic strikes across Ukraine in strikes against Kyiv, and in recent days we assess that Iranian personnel — Iranian military personnel — were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations," said US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price.

I don’t know about Putin and the Mullahs, but Russia and China seem to have increasingly a common cause. They are not natural allies because they would each like to own big chunks of Asia. But the global situation seems to be isolating both Russia and China and so Russia and China are getting closer together.

Who thinks that’s a swell thing? Nobody. But we’re making it happen. And I guess we’re also causing Iran to have stronger ties with Russia. Also double-plus good.

Interesting. Russians are not fluent in Farsi, and Persians don’t speak Russian.

Should be fun to watch.

This sounds surreal. Russia, the victor in WW2, the possessor of the latgest nucleat arsenal, producer of 1000s of tanks and armored vehicles, a Navy with ballistic missile subs and state of the art attack subs, an ait force filled with 4th gen aircraft, that Russia needs drones, missiles, and troops from a nation ruled bt 11th century mullahs. We’ve all gone through the Looking Glass.

Russian soldiers have been working with Assad’s led massacres of half a million for years, so it seems they have plenty of translators in the ME, be it Arabic or Farsi.

The number one thing any attacking soldier must know is the ground they are going to take. The moment Iranian soldiers expose their Muslim heritage my screaming Allah Akbar, the locals will target them.

“And Syria, Belarus”

Yes.

It’s unfortunate “our side” isn’t really our side anymore.

It’s like a war or power struggle between 20th century thug fascists and 21sr century borg fascists that we are excluded from, like bystanders (and potential victims).

Nobody knows for sure

Same folks denied Benghazi and lied that Assad used chem weapons

It is alleged Russia is using Iranian kamikaze drones to deadly effect

Some claim Iran is providing them with the two lowest tiers of their multi tiered effectiveness drone models

One is called the geranium model

Whatever Russia is using its working

Russia has claimed they’ve assembled their own

Iran has been busy under embargoes

Israel doesn’t like it and fears it they are hard to defend against though I’m sure someone is working on it

It’s plausible Iran has personnel in crimea but I take it all with A grain of salt

Jerusalem post

Deep state voices

Who knows

Foreign personnel in a war effort is hardly new for any side

But wait, so we going to make a big stink out of reports of alleged Iranian troops/soldiers on the ground in Ukraine?

Deep state playing up the Iran angle to pressure Israel to cough up gadgets to Ukraine ( which will then find their way into Iranian hands and their proxies. A win win for the Israel haters in the U.S elite warmongery

Both Russia and US/Nato will bring into Ukraine conflict whoever can operate the machinery. And Zelensky is more than happy to pass the buck to outsiders as well....in fact he probably kicks back and raises a toast to every country fighting his conflict for him. Aftr all right from th get go he said this was a conflict “the world” had to come to Ukraine to fight.

Given the NATO doctrine of weapons systems’ interoperability from country to country, constantly escalating training outside Ukraine, and given modern comms, I doubt there is actually much need for NATO personnel to be in Ukraine.
