Zelensky: Iran Using Russian Shahed Drones Against US and Israel
Zelensky claims Iran is supplying Shahed drones to Russia, used against US bases and Israel, as Kyiv faces renewed strikes and Western sanctions debates.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has asserted that Iran is supplying Russia with Shahed drones, a claim he described as 100% factual in a recent interview. He told Fareed Zakaria on CNN that Tehran has actively provided the weapons and that Russia has used them to strike American bases and targets in the region. Zelensky outlined the human cost of the latest onslaught, noting that 430 drones and nearly 70 missiles were launched at Ukraine overnight into Saturday morning, with Kyiv and other cities bearing the brunt of the energy infrastructure hits and civilian buildings damaged. At least four people were killed in the attacks, and Poland briefly scrambled jets in response to the threat.
