Pentagon calls Iran's supplying of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia 'deeply concerning'

The Pentagon says Iran’s supplying of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia is a "deeply concerning development" that threatens European security and shows how Iran’s destabilization efforts are reaching beyond the Middle East.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed Tuesday that the missiles were transferred between the two countries, adding that Russia "will likely use them within weeks in Ukraine."

"The supply of Iranian missiles enables Russia to use more of its arsenal for targets that are further from the front line, while dedicating new missiles it's receiving from Iran [for] closer range targets," Blinken said while speaking alongside British Foreign Secretary David Lammy during a trip to London.

Blinken also vowed Tehran would face repercussions for the transfer and that the U.S. would be announcing additional sanctions on Iran later in the day.

I wonder if there’s anything else Blinken’s learned while poking around Zelensky’s Rear?

But somehow the Biden/Harris admin lifting sanctions on Iran which freed up over $100 billion for them to spend on their nuke program and terrorist proxies isn’t deeply concerning.

So all the NATO countries supplying Ukraine is obligatory, but Russia’s allies supplying them is “deeply concerning.” What a ridiculous and sad state of affairs, regarding this war we started. Imbeciles run our nation.

Does anyone remember when the USSR was the world’s major weapons supplier? Qouting Steve McQueen at the end of the Sand Pebbled
“ What the hell happened!!??”

Hey Pentagon, just say “don’t” like your woke joke of a leader. That’ll fix it.

If you have not noticed, it is Russia who attacked a neighboring country, not Ukraine.

We started and, if you don’t know that by now, you’re an unthinking person.

When and where was this Ukrainian attack on Russia that started the war?

Wise as serpents.

Don’t waste them on israel, sell them, get cash, let russia pour gasoline on ukraine or europe if they don’t fly straight.

Clever opening zelensky with the drones.

“Deeply concerning” sounds like something you would say to your teenager after you find some beer missing.

Are you really that simple-minded. Nevermind, I see that you are - no need to respond.

You’ve either made the unconscious or seemingly conscious choice to bury the the truth deeply, not letting the truth see the light of day. I feel sorry for you.
