‘We are prepared to respond in a swift and coordinated manner’
So why didn’t they do that immediately with the drones?
One of the mulled potential sanctions could be flight restrictions to Iran Air,
Doesn’t sound like they have a lot of options if that’s the best they can think of.
I’m all for pressuring Iran to not help Russia, but the pressure needs to be real, and their behavior lately doesn’t really allow for any carrots IMO. I’d say if we need to put pressure on Iran, it would have to be embargo with blockade to enforce it, flight restrictions could then be part of that. Hollow threats won’t accomplish anything.
