The speech of the President of Ukraine in Munich brought the Iranian issue to the center of the international agenda. For Israel, this statement has direct significance: it concerns a regime that arms Moscow’s allies and simultaneously threatens the regional security of the Middle East.
The key thesis was delivered harshly and without diplomatic embellishments.
What Zelensky said about Tehran’s role
“When they have time β they kill more”
The Ukrainian leader reminded conference participants that Kyiv has never had a conflict of interest with Iran. However, drones supplied by Tehran to Russia are used against Ukrainian cities.
According to him, these devices specifically target energy and residential areas.
Zelensky emphasized: the regime has already caused enormous harm and is capable of causing even more. Therefore, he considers expectations, pauses, and hopes for gradual changes dangerous.
Speed as a survival factor
The President compared the situation to February 2022, when Ukraine needed immediate support. Today, he noted, the same is expected by Iranians opposing the authorities.
The unity of allies, decisiveness, and swift actions β a formula he repeated several times.
Why this is heard especially attentively in Israel
The common line of threats
Israel has long regarded Iran as a systemic adversary. Any statements by world leaders about the need to increase pressure are analyzed here not theoretically, but through the prism of practical security.
In expert circles, cited by NAnews β News of Israel | Nikk.Agency, it is emphasized: the Ukrainian experience shows how quickly a regional problem turns into a direct military threat to peaceful cities.
Political signal to the West
Zelensky’s words are an appeal to capitals making decisions on sanctions, arms supplies, and diplomatic initiatives. Not giving time means not allowing processes to be delayed by endless consultations.
The street and negotiation halls
The flag of the former Iran
In parallel with the speeches in Munich, a solidarity action with opponents of the regime took place. Participants unfurled a huge flag of the Shah’s era with a lion and sun β a symbol of the country’s alternative future.
Such gestures enhance the political backdrop around official discussions.
Contact with the Crown Prince
Separately, it was reported about Zelensky’s conversation with Reza Pahlavi. The topic was the support of Iranian society and the risks posed by Tehran’s cooperation with Moscow.
Thus, the Ukrainian side demonstrates readiness to work not only with governments but also with representatives of another political perspective.
Munich once again confirmed: the issue of Iran is no longer regional. It is integrated into European security, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and Israel’s strategic calculations.
And judging by the tone of the statements, the participants in the discussion do not intend to leave time for hesitation.
