“Russia has found an ally in this, in this genocidal policy: Iran,” the Ukrainian president said on Wednesday. “Deadly Iranian drones sent to Russia by the hundreds and hundreds became a threat to our critical infrastructures. This is how one terrorist has found the other,” Zelensky added.

Hours after those statements, Iran’s government responded angrily and lashed out at the Ukrainian leader for his speech before the US Congress, in which he accused them of being terrorists.

Responding to Zelensky’s accusations, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Thursday that Iran has repeatedly responded to unfounded accusations on drones made by Ukrainian officials against the Islamic Republic.
