Iran’s Diplomatic Disarray
While Iran is at serious risk of facing severe consequences from the West due to its military cooperation with Russia and following the orders of the Russian military for arms collaboration in the invasion of Ukraine, a phone call by the foreign minister of the Iranian government with Ukraine’s foreign minister has become one of its most unsuccessful diplomatic moves.
The representative of the Iranian government’s diplomacy engaged in talks with Dmytro Kuleba without establishing a foundation to be recognized as a genuine representative of Iran’s foreign policy. The outcome of this conversation was predetermined, with the Ukrainian official explicitly pointing out Iran’s role in the Ukraine conflict and reiterating the request to cease this involvement. The passivity of the Iranian official was the most significant reality reflected in reports about the negotiations between the two parties.
