On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with Iran’s Vice President for Strategic Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif to get his perspective on the regional conflict. Zarif adamantly condemns Russia’s incursion into Ukrainian territory. He says, “Russia is to blame for the invasion of Ukraine,” but insists “the United States is responsible for what led to that invasion,” referring to US aid to Ukraine.

Zarif emphasizes the importance of Iran’s trade relationship with Russia. When Bremmer presses him about Iran’s complicity in the war, Zarif denies involvement. He says, “We simply engage in business.” As the Russia-Ukraine war continues to drag on, Iran’s actions will come under increased scrutiny.

  4. These drones are produced in Russia and heavily modernized by Russians from its licensed prototype. Russians don't rely materially on foreign sources to produce their weapons. Ukraine is 80% dependent on American/EU weapons (it's a number from Ukrainian MOD). In reality this number is even higher. It's also totally dependent on American/EU funding. Ukraine even can't be called a state. It's a proxy to conduct a war against Russia.

  5. Dear Ian, I bet if you asked this man "what about black trans lives" he would pull out a pride parade and tell you his pronouns and yell "gay rights are human rights". Why platform these people?
