Iran threatens Zelenskyy over speech to Congress, claims it has provided no arms to Russia
National security analyst Dr. Rebecca Grant joined'Fox & Friends First' to discuss Zelenskyy's visit to the White House and his request for additional aid in the war against Russia. Iran on Thursday took a swing at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over comments he made to Congress this week and denied accusations that Tehran has supplied Russia with drones. Zelenskyy had better know that Iran's strategic patience over such unfounded accusations is not endless," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said in a threatening message posted to the ministry's website. Kanaani also advised Zelenskyy "to draw a lesson from the fate of some other political leaders who contented themselves with the US support." Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine's president, arrives to speak during a joint meeting of Congress at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2022. The spokesman's comments came one day after Zelenskky addressed the U.S. Congress in an appeal for additional aid – a plea aimed at GOP lawmakers who are divided on whether providing support to Kyiv is a matter of national security.
