Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has called Ukraine an accomplice in the aggression of the United States and Israel because of the deployment of Ukrainian counter-UAV experts to Middle Eastern countries. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has described the statement as a lie.

Details: In a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Iravani wrote that Ukraine is complicit in the US and Israeli aggression because it had sent Ukrainian counter-UAV experts to Middle Eastern countries.

Quote from Iravani: "Ukraine's acknowledgement that it has sent hundreds of experts to the region to counter Iran effectively constitutes evidence of material and operational support for military aggression.

Ukraine's interference is not incidental but demonstrates active facilitation of the unlawful use of force against a sovereign state.

Ukraine bears international responsibility arising from aiding or assisting another party in committing unlawful acts."

Details: He also "categorically rejected" allegations that cooperation between Russia and Iran, including in the field of drones, poses a threat to international security.

Tykhyi noted that no Ukrainian drone has ever struck Iran, whereas Iranian drones have carried out strikes against Ukraine.

Quote from Tykhyi: "How to know whether an Iranian regime representative is lying? If his lips move, he is. Almost 60,000 drones shared by Iran with Russia have struck Ukraine since 2022.

Not a single Ukrainian drone has ever hit Iran. This liar should've been long gone together with his regime."
