It's time to combine Ukrainian capabilities and Saudi technology against Iranian drones - Mohammad Farajallah

He said this on Espreso TV.

“Ukraine and Saudi Arabia have already become almost allies. It's time to start combining Saudi capabilities and Ukrainian technologies, as Iran will use drones against the Saudis,” Mohammad Farajallah emphasized.

He noted that it is necessary to develop new anti-aircraft systems and anti-drone systems which both Ukraine and the Middle East need.

According to the Editor-in-Chief of Ukraine in Arabic, Iran, helping the Russian Federation, got scared because it expected Ukraine to act gently. Mohammad Farjallah added that when the Ukrainian flagships are in Saudi Arabia, the Iranians will realize that they have miscalculated.

• On August 30, it became known that Iran secretly supplies Russia with attack drones, which are used in the war against Ukraine.

• On October 5, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran denied the supply of 'kamikaze' drones to the Russian Federation. Later, Dmytro Kuleba warned Iran about the consequences that would affect it in the event of a decision to help Russia. 

• On October 15, Zelenskyy discussed cooperation in the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. In addition, the president thanked Saudi Arabia for supporting the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the resolution in the UN General Assembly.

• Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud announced that the country will allocate USD 400 million for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

• On November 1, it was reported that Saudi Arabia warned the United States that Iran was preparing to attack it and Iraq, as it seeks to distract the population from the anti-government protests that have been going on for more than a month.

• On November 2, Iran called the speculation about the intention to attack Saudi Arabia baseless.

• On November 4, US intelligence officials suggested that Iran was seeking Russia's help to boost its nuclear weapons program. US National Security Council spokeswoman Adrienne Watson noted that the United States will make every effort to prevent Russia and Iran from cooperating in the nuclear sector.

• On November 5, Iran admitted for the first time that it supplied drones to Russia, but the country's foreign minister assures that the transfer of UAVs took place before Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
