Russia is supplying Iran with Shahed drones to use against the U.S. ​and Israel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‌Zelenskiy told CNN in an interview excerpt aired on Saturday.

Zelenskiy told CNN’s Fareed ​Zakaria that it is “100% facts” ​that Iran has used Russian-made Shaheds ⁠to attack U.S. bases.

Iran pioneered the Shahed drone, ​a much cheaper alternative to expensive ​missiles. They first saw mass use in Russia’s ‌invasion ⁠of Ukraine, where thousands of them have been launched by Russian forces since fall 2022, according to the Ukrainians.

    Absolutely, Putin hates USA, and will do everything he can to undermine USA.
    Trump’s friendliness towards Russia and Putin is 100% one way only.

        And with the Russian economy collapsing, Putin is desperate for that money!
        Desperate enough to sacrifice an ally (Iran).
        I wouldn’t be surprised that the reason USA attacked Iran, was to help Putin.
