Russia deployed Iranian-made weapons to strike several cities in Ukraine, including the capital city, Kyiv, early on Monday, targeting critical infrastructure and civilians. Could Iran's involvement in Ukraine sink Biden's nuclear deal hopes?
He pointed out that Russia is using Iranian-made drones against an EU-candidate country. So far, the bloc and the U.K. have not held Iran accountable for this proliferation. Only the U.S. has levied sanctions,"which may be traced to their broader paralysis in Iran policy because of a desire to revive the JCPOA," the analyst said.
Tehran is"testing international red lines," and no response from Europe only emboldens Iranian decisionmakers, Brodsky said.and U.K. will be left with an uncomfortable contradiction in their JCPOA policy, which risks resourcing Tehran's defense industry and, in turn, its drone proliferation to Russia via sanctions relief, while at the same time defending an EU candidate country from an invasion," Brodsky said.
"Russia is using the drones to coordinate indiscriminate attacks that can kill civilians in Ukraine. The Iran deal was sinking anyway, due to Iran's banned activities and refusal to get back in compliance," she said"I don't understand how the U.S. and European partners in the deal can support Ukraine, then talk amiably with Iran. The White House made sure to reveal intelligence on the Iran drone sale, but apparently won't hold it against Iran.
Brodsky said the protests have amplified the political costs of reviving the JCPOA."The U.S. and its allies will argue that they are able to revive the JCPOA while holding Iran's system accountable for its human-rights violations.
