The head of the Iranian parliament’s National Security Commission on Saturday threatened to attack Ukraine, claiming Kyiv had become a “legitimate target” by supplying drone technology to Israel.

Ebrahim Azizi justified his warning by citing Article 51 of the United Nations charter, which recognizes a country’s right to individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs.

“By providing drone support to the Israeli regime, failed Ukraine has effectively become involved in the War and, under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, has turned its entire territory into a legitimate target for Iran,” Azizi said in a post on the social platform X.

Azizi did not offer any specific evidence to support his claim, which came as the joint U.S. and Israeli military campaign entered its third week.
