  The comments by Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian come after months of confusing messaging from Iran about the weapons shipment, as   Russia sends the drones   slamming into Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian targets. “We gave a limited number of drones to Russia months before the Ukraine war,” Amirabdollahian told reporters after a meeting in Tehran. Previously, Iranian officials had denied arming Russia in its war on Ukraine. Just earlier this week, Iran’s Ambassador to the U.N. Amir Saeid Iravani called the allegations “totally unfounded” and reiterated Iran’s position of neutrality in the war. The U.S. and its Western allies on the Security Council have called on Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to investigate if Russia has used Iranian drones to attack civilians in Ukraine.  Even so, Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has vaguely boasted of providing drones to the world’s top powers.

  With Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan and Iran getting its hands on the weapons, things have become extremely unpredictable in the region. In the forceful acquisition, Iran has been making several under-the-table deals with Taliban’s leader.

Even with Joe Biden in power, the sanctions on Iran remain strict and even higher level talks could not help the two countries come to one state of documentation.

 I wanted to share this intriguing news I read today. According to Rostam Ghasemi, a senior official in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran’s former economy minister that Iran supplied Yemen’s Houthi rebels with weapons technology that helped the militants to attack Saudi Arabia. His admission is the first time Iran has confirmed it is helping the Houthis militarily. “We helped them with weapons manufacturing technology but the actual production of weapons is done in Yemen. They produce the weapons themselves. These drones and missiles are made in Yemen,” he said. “There is no need to send weapons.” “Iran’s support for Yemen is political support,” the ministry said. “We have provided weapons in a very limited way. We have provided more consultations compared to supplying weapons to Yemen,” he said. The Houthis escalated attacks against Saudi Arabia in recent weeks, increasingly taking aim at civilian infrastructure.
