Iran sent trainers and technical support to enable Russian forces to use“with better lethality,” John Kirby, White House National Security Council spokesperson, told reporters in a teleconference.

Asked how many Iranians were in Crimea and why, Kirby said, “I don’t have a number … What we do know is there’s a relatively small number that are.”Russia has deployed dozens of drones purchased from Iran to Ukraine and has used them in attacks in recent days,, according to Kirby and State Department spokesperson Ned Price.

And what America is doing in Ukraine?

Hypocrisy at it finest! Who’s arming Ukrainian 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

It's like WMD. Just a pretext

Oh now this is a problem! Who will come out on top on the intersectional hierarchy.... Ukraine or Iran? Leftists LOVE to give them both our wealth! KyleKulinski

And? How does this compare with us sending 200k troops to Iraq in 2003...

Iran should be warned to stay out of it

America first.

The American crews in Ukraine are all volunteers of their own accord.

They ran into some US and UK troops already there.

And the Biden administration authorized US forces to aid Ukrainian forces on Russian troop movements through satellite and communications resources .

Biden was right he would bring people together. Just want telling us it would be India Saudi’s arabia Russia China North Korea and Iran. Did I miss a few lol

Not our fight. US needs to stay out of it. 🇺🇸

Just like Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, right NBC?

Great, now the warmongering democrats will start another war with Iran. 🤦‍♂️

Is this the same intelligence network that said there was WMDs in Iraq? Cause if so I have a big grain of salt to take with this.

Isn’t Russia and Iran part of OPEC?Didnt OPEC cut production and biden was very upset by that.Didn’t biden release more oil from the national reserve’s to lower fuel prices before the Mid Terms in November?

I have evidence Ukraine are using NATO troops to blow up Russian infrastructure, supplying intelligence and weapons 🤔

And u do nothing

20 to 30 cruise missiles into Tehran should send a message

The Russians have all but lost the WILL and STOMACH to die for PUTIN’s nightmare - And they are a modern army - The Iranians are not as sophisticated as the Russians and have only fought other less trained mooselim - America has fought many wars since its independence and won

The US and NATO have troops in Ukraine too so what is the difference?

Shameful

Israel must be monitoring all this activity closely

And the US has special forces on the ground in the Ukraine helping them, what's your point?

Yeah but what will the West do about it. That is what I would like to know.

JackieSOK I wonder what types of circumstances need to exist for the pro-Ukrainian governments to simply flip to an offensive role.

If USA can supply arms to Ukraine, What is wrong in Russia getting equipment from Iran ? Why USA is making an issue out of it? First of all, if USA was not arming Ukraine, this war would have ended long ago peacefully through negotiations between Russia and Ukraine

BreakingKind Does anyone seriously believe the US doesn’t have troops in Ukraine? Or that attacks aren’t being jointly planned from US bases in Germany?

Yeah. I bet they have evidence of American troops killing civilians. Oh wait. Biden did that. Aid workers, wasn't it?

So what? 😒 Iran has drones to sell and Russia has money to buy, is that not Business? 😎 no one talk when Ukraine is willing to negotiate with Russia but nato leaders fly to Ukraine to stop the meeting and provide them with weapons to fight back🙄

Joe Biden is a foreign policy expert, the media told voters.

So whats Biden gonna do about it? Sanctions on Iran? Air strike on the drone factory?

So what’s Biden gonna do? Cut and run

A chance to take on Iranians surely even the Republicans will relish that. Oops Putin another cockup!

Go after iran. Israel has them under attack in Syria. Lets help them destroy this menace. And help free the Iranian people

US manufacturers evidence any time it wants

And what if the US has that evidence? Will the US and it’s NATO allies just sit back and continue to look on as Ukraine is bombed from the sky? Ukraine needs air defence now before there is nothing left RussiaIsATerroristState FuckPutin

For over 25 years we have been talking about fake news and how easy it is to spot. A reporter will make up a fake story like 'U.S. has evidance' and then say all kinds of fake things about what someone else never said.

What you do, also Russians do. Over 20 countries from Europe, Australia and USA are fighting in favor of Ukraine. More than five countries are fighting in favor of Russia, Tanzania inclusive

I remember when we used to have strong leaders who negotiated peace for the world.

This is the same Biden admin that has sent Ukraine 100 billion in arms? Lol.

This is bad. Only God will help his people. And those who kills innocent people may Heaven punish them dearly.

Liars, US is liar and finding fault to attack Iran as iran is supporting Russia 😂😂😂😂,

Ukraine has been embezzling US funds, and most of Iran protesters are out of context with regards to how they're being portrayed.

And here’s the excuse to start WW3

Nuke Iran.

Did Elon shut down Starlink just in time for the Iranians to go undetected for a while? Asking for a friend.

selectedwisdom It’s go time…..lets go……we have the most well trained and lethal force ever created….time to flex the fuck out it…..!

That means Iran is participating in a offensive position in the war i.e. a target.

As mentioned before, this is practically now a world war, by proxy. If the so-called GOP wants to actually end helping Ukraine, then it is definitely possible that other NATO nations like Poland and the Baltic will be threatened. Do they want to risk that?

More cia lies?

Is anyone surprised by this. Was the Iranian drone program financed by the billions of dollars that the Obama administration flew to them in the dead of night?

None of our business.

Fine...so what are the US going to do about it. Sanctions take too long to work.

... Iran must take inspiration from NK to become a Nuclear Power country at the earliest ....

JudiCla31137474 We need more pressure on Iran everything short of invasion.

😡 ... 💙💛🌻💪

Skeptical am I.

I think the GOP is aiding the enemy. Do you think that GOPLeader 's comments that he would no longer support Ukraine are a signal to PutinIsaWarCriminal ? Seems plausible since integrity is no longer a GOP trait!😡

What to get mad about is our tax dollars funding and operating their entire military while also paying for 1000 to 2000 a day mercenaries

The drone we left. Great job, impeachbiden

Mahsa_Amini MahsaaAmini Elnaz_Rekabi 🎧 Tears 🥁

So US and other countries help Ukraine which once beat thousands of Jews to death, but Iran is a villain for helping Russia whose border were threatened by Ukraine's joining NATO

patchesdc This is why the new Revolution in Iran is Real AF. They saw what Putin's boys did to Ukrainian women and children. They realized THEY Could Be Next. Over some Theocratic BS that's been subugating their entire lives. GoSisters

U.S. has been training and arming Ukraine for years. Did the Biden administration officials say that too 😂

Can we also, then? Please?

So the obvious response is to give Iran a nuclear weapon.

selectedwisdom How come the U.S. didn't give Ukraine the coordinates? That would have been more useful

Believe your government said no one

Nobody gives a shit. How many more billions do they need from US taxpayers now?

The US should lubricate the evidences& than shove it up the arse of the one👇who is unable to hold the winds in his bowel! You have No choice,but to keep losing sleep over Iran's well potentiality to break the backbone of the US's hegemony in the entire world.

Is this from the same source that claimed Iraq was procuring uranium from Niger?

Who cares

At what point exactly is this going to be considered a world war when we already have confirmed troops from several countries worldwide on the ground?

Stop the madness.

news breaking PoliticsLive magazine Thanks to propaganda, the mainstream media, big business and the state have lost more than 70% of their profits. Thanks to their toxic practices.

Joe won’t do anything

USA & Allies need to support Ukraine immediately deploying at least three units per Ukraine major populous areas with USA Navy Phalanx Weapons System Land Version these systems act as point defenses against land-attack cruise missiles, anti-radiation missiles, and small drones

Russia also has evidence that US supports Ukraine, so what's your problem really?

I can’t wait till Republicans start defending Iran.

Another Iraqi kind of WMD proof?

I bet we will never see that evidence, like the weapons of made destruction.

Brutal dictators-RussiaIslamsit Iran leyers are united! Difference:Russia desires to re-establish its grip on Ukraine Shia Islamsit Iran's ideology wants to replace democraticliberal governments worldwide On the long run they are more dangerous Impose Unlimited Total sanctions

Fmr. US ambassador to the Soviet Union, Jack Matlock: “if Ukraine had been willing to abide by the Minsk agreement, recognize the Donbas as an autonomous entity within Ukraine, avoid NATO military advisors, and pledge not to enter NATO,” war “probably would have been prevented.”

Ummm...yeah. It was clearly stated on Russian TV.

Hopefully that wakes up Biden on Iran...

We need to supply ukraine with all the advanved military equipments already...

😂😂😂

I am pretty sure we did the same thing lol.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

We should just let them fight i dont think democracy needs to be spread anymore

EU/US/NATO hypocrites and MSM PROPAGANDA, lies🤥‼️🆘🤦‍♀️How many billions of our tax dollars funding NAZIS? How many NATO service ppl been killed in Ukraine? How much NATO weaponry has 🇷🇺destroyed? Even if Iran sends drones, men, the Ayatollah, WTH can you, EU, NATO SA⁉️🤥🙄🤦‍♀️🛑BS

Their God works in mysterious ways.

ps752justice Basically IRGC is operating the drones or unofficially at war with Ukraine

Ah ok to give a reason to Americains to go attack Iran! Seriously give it up. People are not falling for your BS anymore.

Please show us the proof? Where’s the WMD?

That's none of my business

Biden will do NOTHING!

Wish I could believe anything NBC says .

So basically now it's similar to Iraq WMD. Now US will announce, Russia is buying Iranian drones.. only US has the right to sell weapon so time to invade iran and give it freedom, bombs iran to stone age, creates civil war and US leaves and says ladies and gentlemen we got him.

Then those Iranian troops won’t be at home to protect the Inanian government against the uprising.

So what, it's not our war Americans do not need to spend money or shed American blood over their we have problems at home in America we need to attend to first

Until the last Ukrainian

So now we are on the same side as Iran? Something doesn’t add up, what’s really going on over there in Ukraine?

The US has given billions of dollars worth of weapons to the Ukraine, Russia cant buy weapons?

And this is our business because……?

NATO shud take out Iranian drone factories and hit military facilities Send a message to Belgrade, Belarus and Berlusconi

$400k in drones +$100 k transport..towel-head-trainers included for no cost 💰

Why does Biden have the Russians negotiating with Iran for him? WHY IS THAT HAPPENING?!! Something stinks.

Oo we get to go to war with Iran now too!? I bet this has nothing to do with the civil war that’s currently taking place there… can’t wait to “deliver Democracy” to them too 😉

So tell me which satellites are those drones using?

John McCain once sang a jingle at a townhall about Iran... since they're wading into a war, I think that song might be some good advice. 💁🏼‍♂️

And.. when does NATO admit ZelenskyyUa is fighting WWlll alone? Give UK planes!

And the Biden admin wants to give Iran nuclear capabilities. 🤔 SMFH

Maybe it is time for west to acknowledge the protesters in Iran and stand in solidarity with them. That way we can get rid of this cancer of islamic republic from Iran and the region! NOW is the time to listen to Iranians demands inside and outside Iran! IranRevolution2022

it gets more and more like the Vietnam War every day.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of your profits. Propaganda at its basic.

These bloodfirsty Russians! Oh wait…it’s us spreading democracy.

That is unbelievable. I heard they hit a school yesterday. It’s like 3:00 am there now. When is Putin going to stop this terrorism?

Ok?

Nobody believes this. To Russia? Sure. 🖕🇺🇲🖕🇺🇲 🤡

As if the Afghanistan debacle was not enough…

Here we go, gotta drum up some more propaganda to send more debt slave money to Ukraine.

iransux

And nothing will happen. Just sanctions, for a nation we already do zero business with.

It is hoped that the war will end as soon as possible and peace will be restored at an early date

SAVAGE BLOODTHIRSTY TERRORIST MURDERERS

Obama sent plane loads of money to Iran and trans fired billion to them. Maybe that money paid for building the drones.

NBC in Fake News..

Let’s make them suffer
