The conflict in the Middle East is assuming the character of a global conflagration, with Iran openly threatening a missile strike against the heart of Ukraine, the presidential palace in Kyiv, as well as other major cities of the country, in retaliation for potential bombings by the US against Tehran, as reported by state broadcaster IRIB on November 5.
Specifically, Iranian state television broadcast an infographic depicting potential missile strikes across Europe, including the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa, as well as the Polish city of Rzeszow.
It is highlighted that at the same time, in a development that can by no means be characterized as coincidental, Russian President Vladimir Putin met today with Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, as announced by the Press Secretary of the President, Dmitry Peskov.
It is noted that Iran has denounced the deployment of Ukrainian drone units along the country's borders, and more specifically, in Iraqi Kurdistan.
At the same time, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps have warned the Zelensky regime with sweeping retaliation in response to the targeting of units of the Iranian merchant fleet.
Besides, the brazen strike by the Ukrainians on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea, in September, hardly went unnoticed by the Iranian leadership...
Shock from Tehran: Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv in the crosshairs of the IRGC - Revealing graphics
Specifically, Iranian state television broadcast an infographic depicting potential missile strikes across Europe, including the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa, as well as the Polish city of Rzeszow, which constitutes a NATO weapons transit hub.
In the broadcast, a warning was articulated that Iranian missiles could reach all the way to Europe and strike the US and its allies, in the event of a resumption of hostilities.
The specific content was broadcast by the state media of Iran and did not constitute an official declaration of the Iranian government.
However, the broadcast signals an intense escalation in Tehran's rhetoric, placing European cities directly within the framework of its threats for missile strikes.
Besides, outrage prevails in Iran in recent days, amid allegations that the Zelensky regime has deployed drone units along the country's borders, and more specifically, in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Urgent meeting of Vladimir Putin with the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council
Meanwhile, in an occurrence by no means accidental given the above, President Vladimir Putin received at the Kremlin Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, at midday on November 5, as announced by the Press Secretary of the President, Dmitry Peskov.
The subject of the discussion was not disclosed.
It is noted that the visit of Mr. Rezaei to Russia the previous day had likewise not been announced.
Earlier this week, Mohsen Rezaei announced that he held a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin.
According to a post on his Telegram account, they discussed «the current situation in the region and the world, with special emphasis on the West Asia region».
In late October, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Moscow.
He participated in the summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum and met with Vladimir Putin.
Among other topics on the agenda were the situation in the Middle East and economic cooperation.
Bombshell: Rezaei conveyed a message from Mojtaba Khamenei to Vladimir Putin
Indeed, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, conveyed a message from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as reported by IRIB.
«Major General Mohsen Rezaei conveyed the message of the Supreme Leader to Mr. Putin», the publication states.
No information is provided regarding the content of the message.
It is highlighted that earlier, the Press Secretary of the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin received at the Kremlin the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei.
Chills, the Iranians spotted Ukrainian saboteurs on the border - IRGC bombshell: «We will crush you» - Zelensky opened a global front
Volodymyr Zelensky is embroiling Ukraine in a conflict of global character, as Iran now openly warns Kyiv with sweeping retaliation, in response to the deployment of Ukrainian drone operators on its western borders, and more specifically in Iraqi Kurdistan, as revealed by SV Pressa on October 27.
Tehran now signals it does not intend to tolerate the transformation of neighboring countries into bases for potential Ukrainian operations, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced more specifically on October 27.
The warning in question concerns Ukrainian micro-drones reportedly deployed in Iraqi Kurdistan.
«Those who ought to monitor the situation closely are monitoring it and will continue to do so», warned Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.
He added that authorities will take necessary measures to protect the country and confront threats.
Thousands of Ukrainian micro-drones on the Iranian border
More specifically, the news agency Tasnim, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reveals that Ukraine has deployed specialized drone units in several countries of the region and has established a network for the use of micro-drones.
According to an agency source, thousands of such devices are located in northern Iraq.
The Kyiv regime, NATO, and the authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan maintain absolute silence.
However, the report by Tasnim triggered a wave of anti-Ukrainian reactions across the entire Middle East.
The newspaper The Palestine Chronicle writes:
«Tehran considers the deployment of Ukrainian drones part of a hostile campaign by Europe and NATO. The very existence of Iranian accusations is extremely dangerous for the Kyiv regime».
Kyiv, which humiliatingly begs NATO for money in order to purchase weapons, turns out to be deploying its troops to Somalia, Libya, and Iraq.
Bombshell: The Revolutionary Guards openly threaten Zelensky
Drones, instructors, and local armed groups are used for reconnaissance, sabotage, and strikes against targets connected to Iran.
Commenting on Ukrainian provocations, the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, warned that, if Ukrainian drones are used, Iran's response will be «far harsher», as reported by Al Mayadeen.
Mohebbi also meaningfully stated that Iran's production capacity in missiles and drones has increased by at least 50%.
He added that Iran continues to improve the range, precision, and destructive power of its weapon systems.
«By no means accidental the deployment of drones in Iraqi Kurdistan...»
The general appears convinced that the presence of Ukrainian drones near the borders of Iran is not accidental, as rumors of new American plans for an invasion of Iran have long circulated.
Tehran believes that Ukrainian fighters are openly conducting subversive activities against Iran.
The Iranian newspaper Mehr recalls that last summer police in Sulaymaniyah, the capital of Kurdistan, arrested three Ukrainians who were training local separatists in operating small drones.
Kyiv's relations with separatist organizations in northern Iraq
It is highlighted that the Ukrainians maintained close ties with several armed groups in northern Iraq.
Mehr also recalls other terrorist attacks that, according to the outlet, were organized by Ukrainians.
In October 2023, operatives of the Ukrainian security service SBU carried out a drone attack against a military academy in Homs, Syria.
At least 100 people were killed, many of whom were relatives of young Syrian officers participating in a graduation ceremony.
Iran closer than ever to retaliation against Kyiv
Newspapers Mehr and Tasnim recall that on July 25 the Kyiv regime attacked an Iranian merchant ship in the Caspian Sea.
An Iranian soldier was killed in the attack.
Subsequently, the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi, disparagingly called Volodymyr Zelensky a «parasite of Kyiv» and threatened a harsh response.
Iran seriously considered the prospect of bombing Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles.
However, the near-inevitable escalation was ultimately averted, according to the Neue Zurcher Zeitung.
Now, Iran demonstrates clearly that it has no intention of forgiving the fighters of Kyiv.
An attempt to use the territories of neighboring countries of Iran as safe havens could prove extremely dangerous.
Zelensky opens a global front, threatened with a missile strike
Furthermore, the Kyiv regime is provoking not only Iran, but also NATO.
It depends on Western financing, armaments, and political support, while now attempting to set ablaze the entire Middle East, dragging Iran and its numerous regional partners into the confrontation.
And if Kyiv is indeed attempting to open a new drone war front in the Middle East, it may find that Iran does not constitute an easy target for yet another show of loyalty toward the West, but a regional power with an advanced arsenal and readiness to respond far beyond its borders.
This could include even the destruction of Bankova, the so-called «world-weary» institution of Kyiv.
