I-Iran ivume okokuqala ngqa ngoMgqibelo ukuthi inikeze iMoscow amadrone kodwa yathi zithunyelwe ngaphambi kwempi yase-Ukraine, lapho iRussia ibizisebenzise khona ukuhlasela iziteshi zikagesi nengqalasizinda yabantu.
UNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle wase-Iran u-Hossein Amirabdollahian uthe “inani elincane” lamadrones athunyelwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuhlasela kweRussia ngoNhlolanja zingama-24. UMongameli wase-Ukraine uVolodymyr Zelenskiyy usole iTehran ngokuqamba amanga, wathi amasosha aseKyiv awisa okungenani izimoto eziyi-10 ezingenamuntu nsuku zonke.
Empendulweni enemininingwane eminingi ye-Iran kuze kube manje, u-Amirabdollahian uphikile ukuthi iTehran isaqhubeka nokuhlinzeka ngamadrones eMoscow. “Lo msindo owenziwe ngamanye amazwe aseNtshonalanga wokuthi i-Iran inikeze iRussia amamissiles nama-drones ukuze isize empini yase-Ukraine – ingxenye emayelana namamissile ayilona iqiniso neze,” kusho uNgqongqoshe.
“Ingxenye yamadrone iyiqiniso futhi sinikeze iRussia inani elincane lamadrones ezinyangeni ngaphambi kwempi yase-Ukraine,” esho.
Emasontweni asanda kwedlula i-Ukraine ibike ukwanda kokuhlaselwa ngamadrones okubhekiswe kwingqalasizinda yabantu, okubhekiswe kakhulu eziteshini zikagesi namadamu, kusetshenziswa amadrones e-Shahed-136 enziwe e-Iran. IRussia iyaphika ukuthi amasosha ayo asebenzise amadrones ase-Iran ukuhlasela i-Ukraine.
Ekhelini levidiyo, uZelenskiyy ukuchithile ukukhuluma ngezinto ezilinganiselwe zase-Iranian eziya eRussia, wathi i-Ukraine yashaya phansi amadrones ayi-11 ngoLwesihlanu kuphela.
“Uma i-Iran iqhubeka nokuqamba amanga ngalokho okusobala, kusho ukuthi umhlaba uzokwenza imizamo eyengeziwe yokuphenya ukubambisana kwamaphekula phakathi kombuso waseRussia nowase-Iran nokuthi iRussia ikhokhela ini i-Iran ngokubambisana okunjalo,” esho.
Ngokwehlukana, Inxusa Elikhethekile laseMelika elise-Iran uRobert Malley ubhale kuTwitter ukuthi akulona iqiniso ukuthi i-Iran ithumele amadrones ambalwa.
“Badlulise inqwaba kuleli hlobo futhi banamasosha e-Ukraine asiza iRussia ukuwasebenzisa lamadrones,” kubhala inxusa.
UZelenskiyy, osecindezele ngokuphindaphindiwe abalingani ukuthi banikeze ukuzivikela okwengeziwe ezindizeni nakuma-missiles, uthe ubelindele “izindaba ezinhle” emasontweni ezayo kodwa akazange anikeze imininingwane. IKyiv, engeza, ngesonto elizayo izokwethula umkhankaso wokuqoqa izimali zokuthenga amadrones asolwandle.
Ngenyanga edlule, izikhulu ezimbili eziphezulu zase-Iranian kanye nosopolitiki ababili base-Iran batshele abeReuters ukuthi i-Iran ithembise ukunikeza iRussia imicibisholo ecitshwayo esuka phezulu kuya phezulu, ngaphezu kwamadrones amaningi. I-IRNA icaphune u-Amirabdollahian ethi uTehran noKyiv bavumelene ukudingida izinsolo zokusebenzisa amadrones ase-Iran kodwa abase-Ukraine abazange balubhade ezingxoxweni.
I-European Union ngenyanga edlule yavuma unswinyo olusha e-Iran mayelana nokulethwa kwedrone, futhi iBrithani yafaka unswinyo kumasosha amathathu ase-Iranian kanye nomkhiqizi wezokuvikela.
