The progression of occurrences in Iran might potentially yield beneficial outcomes for Ukraine, given that, should a shift in governance occur, Tehran possesses the capacity to modify its international approach and cease backing Russia.
This declaration was voiced on Espresso by the President of the Ukrainian Foreign Policy Association, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Volodymyr Khandogiy.
According to him, the Iranian state of affairs holds both menaces and prospective merits for Ukraine. He designated a governmental transition in the nation as a crucial, optimistic scenario.
“The matter concerning Iran has dual facets. One aspect is propitious, which could be advantageous for Ukraine. This would transpire if the administration in Iran is replaced — undoubtedly with support from the US — thereby altering Iran’s foreign policy from endorsing Russia towards demonstrating allegiance to the US,” Khandogiy remarked.
The diplomat underscored that, in such a scenario, Russia would forfeit noteworthy military assistance from Tehran.
“The benefit would be the cessation of military assistance that Iran offers to Russia. At minimum, the ‘shaheeds’ supplied by Iran to the Russian side could be oriented in a different direction,” he elucidated.
Simultaneously, Khandogiy acknowledged that the situation could likewise entail unfavorable repercussions, notably by drawing the focus of global allies away from the conflict in Ukraine.
“Indubitably, diverting media coverage, and crucially, military-technical consideration, from Ukraine’s requirements towards addressing predicaments in Iran could exert a detrimental effect,” the diplomat articulated.
However, in his judgment, should the protestors and the US realize their objectives, the ultimate result will be propitious for Ukraine.
“The unfolding of events in Iran, assuming it culminates in the attainment of the aims pursued by the demonstrators and the US, will in all likelihood prove advantageous for Ukraine,” Khandogiy concluded.
It was previously conveyed that the US is promptly recalling personnel from vital establishments in the Middle East following Tehran’s vow of retaliation.
