- Russia’s war effort is under growing pressure, with mounting military losses, relentless Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, and attacks damaging nearly 43% of Russia’s refining capacity
- The U.S. and EU are preparing tougher sanctions, targeting Russia’s oil exports, shadow fleet, and major buyers such as China and India, with tariffs and stricter enforcement aimed at squeezing Moscow’s energy revenues.
- Economic strains are intensifying, as Russia faces stagnating growth, shrinking sovereign reserves, a worsening fuel crisis, and the prospect of broader conscription after September elections.

Can someone explain why ukraine attaked iran.
There you go, and right in the article you linked too !
Now I don’t know if any of this is true, but it appears to be the stated reason.
An 2-hours old account engaging in whataboutism with a misleadingly framed question. What is this?
What’s the charge?
Bombing a delicious Iranian target? This is Democrrrracy manifest.
…get your hand off my penis
No mater how serious a subject or moment is, I will never not laugh when the words “Get your hands off my penis” are uttered.
Can someone explain why Ukraine Isn’t attacking Iran more?
We can only produce so many drones
Because iran isn’t going to lose and expanding the war will only hurt ukraine and help russia
iran can’t do shit, at worst they can fire a few missiles with questionable efficiency. What are they going to do, start supplying r*ssia?
That’s what the trump cultists used to say about Iran. Do you think Ukrainians ports and other economical targets are more protected than American bases ?
I think Iran has its hands pretty full fighting the USA and Israel right now. Iran is doing ok at the moment but can see Russia getting its arse whooped by the Ukrainians and cleverly decided they want none of that.
Actually, yes they are due to them being far more ready, second distance matters a lot, third iran supports r*ssia with weapons and resources.
All facts shows that the war on iran is harming ukraine and helping russia. Use your goddamn mind. Thankfully after talks between iran and ukraine both side understood that escalation is bad.
I understand that they are an enemy, everything else is pretty words, iran backed down when their ships that supplied r*ssia were hit. Good for them.
You are so dumb. Defense systems that Ukraine need was sent to protect Israel because of the war, russia got sanctions relief because of the war. You claim to support ukraine while supporting actions that help russia, poor guy
Are attacks against logistics supporting your aggressor not allowed? I suspect arms shipments from Iran to Russia are very much legitimate targets.
It’s not like Iran have held back attacking fellow gulf states even outside the obvious US bases they host.
The way those things tend to be done is that arms shipments to the enemy are attacked when in the territory of the enemy or, at most, international waters.
The reason is pretty simple: it avoids escalating the war beyond control by getting more nations fully involved in the actual fight which would then pull in even more nations with a similar rationale that they support their enemy by sending them weapons.
If it is valid for Ukraine to attack Iran directly because it sells arms to their enemy, then it is equally valid for Russia to attack pretty much every European nation because they sell and even give arms to their enemy.
Activelly going to war with those who supporters one’s enemy merelly with weapons is a Pandora’s Box that’s best left closed.
PS: Also keep in mind that Iran isn’t quite breaking this - they’re attacking American bases from which attacks on Iran are being launched which happen to be in the territory of a 3rd nation, the equivalent to Ukraine attacking Russian bases in Belarous used to attack Ukraine, which is perfectly valid (otherwise countries could just attack other countries with no consequences as long as they did it from the territory of a 3rd country) - they’re not attacking countries which merely sold weapons to America.
They have also attacked civilian infrastructure as well as non-aligned shipping. They are not the angels you portray them to be.
Mate, next to both America and Russia, Iran are fucking angels - like Ukraine, they’re the ones who were attacked by one of those two and are doing whatever it takes to push the attacker back.
Please stop. Iran’s government is an authoritarian theocracy with, among other things, a very recent history of massacring and persecuting their own people for protesting said government. They’re absolutely horrible and remain so despite fighting other states with horrible governments.
Please stop parroting the sociopathic excuses of the evilest people around.
You’re defending victimizing even more Iranian people with the rationale that they’re victims, by supporting foreign aggressors murdering the people of that country with the excuse that their regime “has a very recent history of massacring and persecuting their own people for protesting said government”.
That’s the same sociopathic shit that was used to justify the invasion of Iraq (which directly and indirectly killed an estimated 1.2 million people) and the overthrowing of Gaddafi in Libya where people are still dying today because the country was thrown into a murderous civil war.
It’s the same sociopathic “excuse” that was used by none other than fucking Putin with his fables about how Ukraine was ruled by NAZIs to justify invading Ukraine and killing Ukrainians.
That’s the same family of sociopathic arguments as when Israel talks about how badly homosexuals are treated in Palestine whilst in a “gender orientation”-agnostic way mass murdering Palestinians.
That shit is invariably wheeled out by aggressive, murderous foreign invading regimes (like the ones of American and Russia) to justify doing even more murderous things to the people of a country than those people’s regime ever did to them.
Please stop.
I don’t really know what you’re talking about and I strung the suspect that you don’t either.
The Iranian people are victims of their own government , it’s absolute garbage institution and should be destroyed and replaced with something that doesn’t carelessly destroy so many innocent lives. If you care about the Iranian people as you say, I have no idea why you want to condemn them to that hell with silence.
The glib willingness with which to write off all their atrocities with whataboutism and minimization is revolting, people like you are why those regimes continue as long as they do. Believe it or not, you can hate all the shitty governments, even when they’re fighting each other.
The Iranian people are victims of their own government.
The Iranian people are even more victims of America’s actions, not just the current bombings, but almost a century of fucking up with Iran, including triggering the very chain of events that put the current regime in power in Iran (when America overthrew Iran’s democratically elected government and put the Shah back in power, which led to the Islamic Revolution).
Pretty much every single way in which Iranians are being fucked up can be traced back directly or indirectly to America.
And here you are, relentlessly defending that the regime in America (and the equally imperialist one in Russia) are less bad than the one in Iran.
Talking about how the Iranian regime “massacres and persecutes their own people” to support the the notion that America is less murderous and to claim that Iran’s actions of self-defense against American bases used to attack Iran in its allied nations around it aren’t justified (which is where this whole thread started) is self-serving tribalist hypocrisy.
You don’t give a flying fuck about the people being killed when you wheel out the stories of one set of victims to claim that the people victimizing FAR more people aren’t as bad, repeating the profoundly hypocrite warmongering Propaganda of the most murderous aggressive nations around, America, Russia and Israel, to justify their far more murderous actions.
That you then claim it’s other’s who are doing “whatboutism and minimization” is just hypocrisy on top of hypocrisy.
