Shipment of Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles are to be delivered to Russia Putin's soldiers have been targeting civilians with missile strikes in Ukraine
Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai said: 'The time has come for Ukraine to receive military aid as well'
Israeli ministers have said it is time for the country to support Ukraine with arms shipments after US officials claimed on Sunday that Iran has secretly agreed to supply Russia with surface-to-surface missiles.
The Islamic Republic has been sending drones along with Iranian troops into Ukraine to operate them, siding with Russia in its bloody invasion.
Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai wrote on Twitter: 'There is no longer any doubt where Israel should stand in this bloody conflict. The time has come for Ukraine to receive military aid as well, "
Washington Post quoted US sources on Sunday claiming Iran is stepping up its arms supply to Russia.
Tehran has finalised terms for additional weapons shipments, including two types of Iranian surface-to-surface missiles, the sources said.
A shipment of Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles, weapons capable of striking targets at distances of 300 and 700 kilometers respectively, are set to be delivered for Putin's troops to use against targets in Ukraine .
Moscow has been searching for allies for its nearly eight-month war in Ukraine after invading the country, only to have its nose bloodied by fierce Ukrainian resistance and a subsequent counter-attack.
Now, Vladimir Putin has announced the end to mobilisation only two months after starting forced military conscription, with more Russians ending up fleeing the country than fighting in the army.
The news comes as Ukrainian forces mounted another counterattack on Russian occupiers in the south of the country, with the Armed Forces of Ukraine reportedly requesting a blackout of videos, photos, with regards to Kherson

Since when?
What type?

China started talking stronger smack about Taiwan as well.
This is getting out of control.
Blood in the water and the sharks see an opportunity.
Precisely.
Most of it has been defensive but there is a lot about it by merely googling it.

The pressure is on now for Israel and it looks like they may cave.
“China started talking stronger smack about Taiwan as well.
This is getting out of control.”
This Taiwan talk was Xi performing at the latest CCP party confab, that just elected him to a third term. That some are calling, actually President for life. Let’s hope this is so. That the ChiComs will simmer down. The world has enough headaches.
“Netherlands and Germany will be sending Ukraine an anti-tank weapons system manufactured by a subsidiary of Israel's state-owned Rafae “
so its getting sent by Germany and the Netherlands.
And what “pressure” are you talking about?
Ukraine has no power to pressure anybody.
Most countries of the world, certainly almost all countries in Asia have refused to impose any sanctions on Russia.
They are not stupid.
That hope is fishing line thin.
They are being pressured by the US now. So far, they have not faltered, but....you know how things like this work.
We will see.
I think the thing people are missing here, due to their zealous hatred of our nosey support of Ukraine, is the fact that Iran is an existential threat to Israel.
The Ayatollahs have VOWED to nuke the Jews once they get their bombs working.

Now the Iranians are going full bore with the Russians, and that has got to be a big concern for Israel.
Their thinking is not OUR thinking.
Conservatives recognize this war as mostly not our business and we certainly don’t want to spend billions on Ukraine when we haven’t even closed our border here. There are a million things to talk about to bring peace, rather than war, to the table. Biden has pushed war without end.
But if there’s any escalation in play here, the blame is in Tehran.
That 33% seems like 23% too high
