The initiation of severing political ties between Ukraine and Iran
While news about Russian attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities, targeting Ukrainian civilians, is accompanied by the increasing role of Iran in military cooperation with the Russian army, Western countries have intensified their efforts to confront Iran on this issue. Switzerland is among the countries that have officially announced new sanctions against Iran due to its violent crackdown on protesters and the death of Mahsa Amini. However, specific military and sanction plans against Iran regarding its military assistance to Russia have not yet been announced. The Ukrainian government, aiming to make its Western supporters aware of the impacts of Iran’s involvement in the attack on Ukraine, is seeking to sever political relations with Iran, as announced by the country’s foreign minister. This proposal has been submitted by the foreign ministry to the President of Ukraine.
