Iranian officials have declared that Kyiv has become their "legitimate" military objective, with lawmakers warning of potential attacks on Ukrainian territory. Tehran's rhetoric intensified after Moscow allegedly provided weapons to the Israeli defense industry; in response from Kiev, President Zelensky accused Iran of teaching Russians how to kill Ukrainians while Russia continues its war against Ukraine and Israel remains engaged militarily across Gaza Strip region despite ongoing diplomatic efforts for peace deal between these two nations aimed at ending conflict there soon.
