Attacking Iran as an outside country contributing weapons to the conflict in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Poland, was a foolish and potentially catastrophic White House/Jerusalem gaffe, driven by personal politics and not the need for sane public policy.
Russia and its allies may now fire missiles at factories wherever in some 50 nations weapons used against Russians are manufactured.
“This unsuccessful attack occurred around 23:30 on the night of January 29, however because of the preventative measures and actions taken by the air defences the attack by the macro drones was repelled,” the Iranian defence ministry boasted in a statement published in the early hours of Sunday.
Iran vowed retaliation as Ukraine claimed the attacks were all about Iran supplying drones with which Russia allegedly attacked Ukrainian civilians, something both sides are doing according to medical workers in Ukraine.
Many of those drone-attacks are reportedly military-targeted unmanned projectiles aimed at military targets but falling where they are intercepted by anti-aircraft weapons causing the-off course drone to fall often over residential areas.
Rules of war say Russia plus the allies to Russia are now entitled to attack any manufacturers in any of the 50 countries supplying weapons to Ukraine, including Canada, USA, Germany, France and England.
“The factories manufacturing tanks headed for Ukraine are likely to be struck by missiles or bombs anywhere in the world following the recent news of military strikes in Iran’s defence industrial complex, and the NATO decision to send offensive lethal weapons systems like tanks and short-range and medium-to-long-range ballistic missiles into Ukraine,” warns security consultant, Simon Baldock in Tel Aviv.
“This has been one of the greatest fears of our membership in Europe—that the war would soon spread in 2023 to other countries, especially those like Germany which publicly declares to be at war with Russia, in Ukraine,” explains Dale Carter, security director for The RINJ Foundation which has all but screamed from the rooftops about the horrific abuse millions of Ukrainian women and children suffer in this world war involving 55 countries fighting three and bringing morbidity to the entire human race.
“We are fighting a war against Russia,” says Germany’s foreign minister.
Russia says it wants to block the use of uranium and depleted uranium in 120mm tank rounds because of the extreme danger to civilians the Ukrainians and the West have been firing upon in Donetsk PR and Luhansk PR of the Donbass region. Pundits in Russia claim this opens the door to Russia’s use of nuclear weapons in the conflict.
This was the message shared by Moscow sources who only seemed to want to talk about the potential violation of treaties if America, Britain and Germany are having their hundreds of tanks in Ukraine fire radioactive tank rounds. “A substantial part of Ukraine is made up of Russian people, you must know,” noted one indignant military expert who then excused himself because, “No time to talk. Call tomorrow,”
The allegedly-massive military attacks against Iran this past weekend have sparked an avalanche of propaganda-speak from Kiev where the talking points are to claim this is a retaliation against Iran for allegedly supplying drones to Russia. Reportedly the West is eager to explain that it was all about Iran not being allowed to have ballistic missiles. But there is no such agreement in force anywhere at this point. Multiple attacks against Iran’s military industrial complex have lit the skies, but neither side according to observers from both sides, is telling the truth.
Iran has exploited or in the alternative is genuinely miffed at the deadly misspeak coming from Kiev.
But the propaganda coming from Kiev endangers its allies and their civilians and is a pack of lies. There has been no evidence as yet to suggest that Saturday’s attacks in Iran hit anything to do with the manufacture of the Shahed-136, Shahed-129, Shahed-191, and Qods Mohajer-6 drones purportedly used in Ukraine by Russia. There is evidence to suggest that Netanhau’s extremist right-wing coalition is seeking to keep Netanyahu out of prison with one distraction after another: mass murdering Palestinians and bombing Iran.
The Ukrainian charge d’affaires has been called up on the carpet in Tehran, reports Behar Abbasi who has taken some time away from writing for FPM.news while she participates as an organizer of peaceful demonstrators in the Women-Life-Freedom movement of Iran—now spreading around the world like a ground swell of women’s rights advocacy.
The reason for the tense diplomatic wrist slapping in Tehran is the unofficial commentaries done by a Zelensky advisor and former Belarus media mogul not unlike Zelenskyy, Mykhailo Podolyak.
“Although not elected as anything, Mykhailo Podolyak speaks and writes as if he is the President of Ukraine,” according to Alona Adamovich who is a registered nurse and humanitarian worker in Ukraine.
“I doubt anyone is stupid enough to attack factories in Iran making weapons for the separatist countries because the Donetsk side, or its Russian allies could just do the same,” she said.
“Zelensky is our president not this *—* [Podolyak],” she said in English. “Why is Iran bent out of shape over what a crackpot says. This guy doesn’t represent us. All he talks about is the blood and guts of Russian-speaking Ukrainians being spilled all over the country. One doctor I work with says when Podolyak comes on the TV, ‘OK we better put on our hip-waders to get through this guys’ gore.’ Most of the people here cannot stand him because he is a Belarussian [born in Ukraine according to public records] who tries to dodge criticism for being famous in Belarus which is on the hate list as an ally of Russia, so Podolyak publicly pretends he hates Russian-Ukrainians thinking that makes him popular in Kiev. He is a phony.”

What riled Iran?
In the commentaries for the U.S. media, Podolyak claimed recently that the attacks against the Ukraine defence industry were related to the alleged sales of military equipment to Russia and that Iran was being punished. Pundits on American TV talk shows like Fox News and CNN spun this blarney vigorously and the Islamic Republic of Iran, blew gaskets in anger.
“Russians will continue to flee. At the same time, they will get even more dead, and the wounded and amputees will take to the streets of Russian cities en masse and protest violently,” writes Podolyak.
But America is losing the war in eastern Europe, badly.
Even with 55 allies sending thousands of troops, billions of dollars and megatons of weapons into Ukraine, Russia has taken control of 27% of Ukraine and is holding that 27% no matter how much cash and bombs and how many mercenary troops the West pours into the country.
Of course, a sizeable portion of the money and the weapons has been stolen in this massively corrupt American/Ukraine Biden-family fiasco of many years but based on the debris of abandoned American and European weapons and armour spread across the front lines, the Ukrainians are getting some of the weapons to use against the Ukrainians who opted to separate away from Ukraine—which is what this war is about, a civil war between Kiev and millions of Ukrainians who became so fed up with the corruption in 2014 they separated from Ukraine and have been shelled back to the dark ages ever since.
