In London, Mr Blinken said: “Dozens of Russian military personnel … were trained in Iran to use the Fath 360 close-range ballistic missile system, which has a maximum range of 75 miles.”
“Russia has now received shipments of these ballistic missiles and will likely use them within weeks in Ukraine against Ukrainians.”
“This is a threat, not only to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, but to all of Europe.”
it sounds like Ukraine could use some extra ballistic missiles, no?

Surely this is a red line with consequences. If US ballistic missiles being used in Russia is. SURELY Iranian ballistic missiles being used in Ukraine is.

You guys all do realize that if Putin is crazy/stupid enough to use an Iranian ballistic missile to drop a nuke, we (the US) will immediately be at war with both Russia and Iran, yeah? This seriously has the potential to set off a serious global conflict.

Warning means nothing. Accountablity means something. Lift your restrictions of use of weapons in Russia, that is called accountability.
