(4 years ago)The White House said on Thursday that the US has evidence that Iranian troops are “directly based on the ground” in the Crimean, supporting Russia's attacks on infrastructure and civilian population in Ukraine. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that Iran has sent a relatively small “number of personnel”
National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters that Iran has sent a relatively small <x0-counter” military personnel to the Crimean, to help Russian troops in issuing fears produced by Iran. In 2014, contrary to international law, Russia annexed Crimea, a Ukrainian territory.
The information we have is that Iranians have deployed to the war crimes personnel that teach Russians how to use (drones) to guarantee technical support, but there are (the Russian troops) those who are doing drone pilot”, said Mr. Kirby.
The US first discovered this summer that Russia was buying Iranian fears, which Tehran has rejected.
American officials believe Tehran may have deployed military personnel to help the Russians, in part because of the lack of knowledge Russian troops have in using the fears produced by Iran. According to the findings of American intelligence, Russians faced technical problems in using Iranian fears, shortly after their surrender in August.
These developments, showing Iran's involvement in the Moscow war in Ukraine, providing technical assistance to Russian troops, come at significant moments for Tehran, while the country is involved in protests on the detention of a 22-year-old girl. The US administration has imposed new sanctions on Iran over the brutal crackdown on antigovernmental protests.
