Iran says patience running thin with Zelenskyy's accusations over Ukraine war
Iran and Ukraine appeared to be entering a new phase in their war of words, triggered by evidence of Tehran's shipment of deadly combat drones to Moscow.
TEHRAN — Iran told Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that its "strategic patience" was thinning with his accusations about Tehran's delivery of drones to the Russian military.
"Iran's patience will not be limitless," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanani in a statement published by the government-run IRNA news agency on Thursday.
Kanani reiterated Iran's official line of denial that it has "never supplied military equipment to any side to be used in the Ukraine war."
The comments came one day after Zelenskyy's address to US Congress, where he rebuked Iran for being an ally in Russia's "genocidal policy" before describing Tehran as a "terrorist" government and "a critical threat to our infrastructure."
