Yesterday, it was reported that Ukrainian officials said that Iran had transferred shipments of new UAVs to Russia, which explains the renewal of attacks using them after a long period when there were no attacks using them.
Yesterday, Network B announced here that some of the countries of Western Europe, including significant countries and the largest of them, have reduced contact with the Iranians to a minimum in recent weeks. According to the report, since Iran entered the battlefield in Ukraine, contact between European diplomats or senior European officials and their Iranian counterparts has been reduced to a minimum. Sources privy to the details told here news that diplomatic contact and diplomatic meetings have been reduced to almost zero. This is also reflected in sanctions, such as those imposed yesterday by the European Union on Iranian individuals who are involved in dispersing the protests and the issue of UAVs.
